He means: I am running an underground restaurant?
Regulars will remember last winter and spring the hype over an alleged Melbourne underground restaurant. While a software updated meant the content of the post was lost, the short of it is that Zingara Cucina was somewhere between a hoax and an an experiment in viral marketing.
For a moment I was sucked in as was The Age and The Australian magazine.
I think what’s evolved instead is something far more democratic. It’s not underground. it’s exposed on this blog for all to see.
For want on a better name, we called the first meet the Bloggers’ Banquet. There’s now been version 2.0 and most recently 2.1 - 13 of us took over Jamon Sushi in South Yarra for a night to explore the melt in the mouth delights of wagyu.
Jamon is one of the few places in Melbourne where you can eat and learn a few things too.
I’ve written about one of these wagyu meals before you can also check out Cin’s amazing pics and posts from Neil, Elliot, Thahn, and Claire.
What next?
There was talk with Mellie from Tummy Rumbles of trying to book out the whole of Tempura Hajime. And I suggested to Sticky (who didn’t make the wagyu night) that we gor for some authentic Chinese and that she orders off menu.
Also, there may be a few thing coming up for restaurant launches too.
