a good meal is like a good book

The avid reader will come across a multitude of good books. Good books simply provide you with a certain degree of pleasure for a period of time. A devoted reader will also, undoubtedly, be unfortunate enough to come across a few not-so-good books. These books are the ones you skim through; to establish a basic plot, and quickly learn the conclusion before rapidly hiding the woeful document deep within a long forgotten draw, to ensure you may never lay eyes on its pages again. Lastly, and most importantly, the dedicated reader will also, from time to time, stumble upon a book which is somewhat special. It may make you laugh or cry. Perhaps it puts your life into perspective, or maybe there is nothing specifically great about it, but you just simply can not put it down. Regardless, the book is exceptional, and throughout your lifetime, you will read it again and again. It is this book that you tell your friends about…and they tell their friends about. And sooner or later word of this remarkable book is travelling around the globe, and before you know it, a story becomes a series, a series becomes a box office hit, and an otherwise unknown author becomes a celebrity!

But how does this relate at all to a good meal?

Well I am by no means an avid reader. I have, however, grown into what I would like to describe as an avid eater. And just as a reader must trowel through countless good books to find an exceptional read, I find myself travelling to oodles of restaurants in the hope that I occasionally stumble across something just a little bit extraordinary. There are countless good restaurants awaiting to be graced by your presence. You can book a table, eat your meal, and have a relatively enjoyable experience. There are also, of course, a few of those not-so-good restaurants, lurking in the shadows of the city, hoping you foolishly stop by. 

But the place I am forever searching for is a cut above all the rest. Its the kind of place that I will tell all my friends about. The kind of place I will take all my special somebodies to, on all those special occasions. The kind of place I will go back to again and again, just because it was just so good the first time.

And so, this here blog, is where I plan to share my findings with you.

I will post reviews of my weekly dining adventures, commenting on the bucket loads of good restaurants I am bound to come across, as well as the occasional shockers, and every now and then, hopefully I can share with you a place which is somewhat remarkable.

Search away through my reviews, and hopefully I can help you fast track the discovery of your next extraordinary dinning experience!
