Food fight

Written by

Yes, there are two good fight stories out there. Cuccina Rebecca in Sydney was asked to stop taking pics of her food “because the owner does like it” as someone once tried to take a picture of the blackboard. Silly restaurant paranoi perhaps. Many chefs do take food photos for ideas but this was a bowl of pasta.
But it’s not as paranoid as the restaurants that refuse the critic entry. That’s right in Melbourne they have barred the way of the Herald Sun Critic Stephen Downes (who I helped set up his blog and still have some work to do on it).
I was tempted to name some of those restaurants but Rebecca is right. I shouldn’t.
It’s their loss of publicity.
