Who doesn’t!? So for that reason I like Col’Cacchio pizza restaurants as they have a huge selection on pizzas.

So here is the good news: The Col’Cacchio pizzeria Celebrity Chef Series is back. Four months, four celebrity chefs and four amazing pizzas! Liam Tomlin kicks off in May, followed by extreme adventurer and chef, David Grier in June, and the creative goddesses from Charly’s Bakery in July.

And they have a special promo starting with this for August.

Any foodies out there in Cape Town? I am sure there are a lot and I am a foodie as well. Got this news that I would like to share with you.

Eat Out is inviting its audience of food lovers to have a say in the next step of the brand’s evolution, through an online survey on www.eatout.co.za, which will go live on 20 February.

Initiated by New Media, the company behind the Eat Out brand, the survey will gather feedback from the South African food community, which will serve to play an important role in shaping the brand in the future, says Aileen Lamb, incoming General Manager for Eat Out.

The survey will cover all facets of the brand, including the website, weekly e-newsletter, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, annual glossy magazine and the Eat Out Restaurant Awards. It will be publicised through the Eat Out website, which has over 140 000 unique browsers and the weekly newsletter, which reaches 25 000 subscribers.Continue Reading …

SHAKEN, STIRRED AND SMOOTH INDEED

I just got a very nice bottle of No. 3 London Dry Gin from Paddington Station PR. Lovely gift and highly appreciated.

But as we will have the Cape Town Active Twitter & Blogger Meetup next week I thought it might be a good idea to give this lovely Dry Gin to some lucky Tweep at the event. One more reason to join us at the Tweetup.

What is so special about the No. 3 London Dry Gin? Continue Reading …
