1800 EighteenHundred Introduces New Summer Menu
12 Oct 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My fellow 1800 fans will be pleased to hear that they have launched their new Summer Menu! And they’re doing it properly too, with a ridiculous new R169 Summer Menu Promotion. Unbelievably, that includes a glass of sparkling, starter, 200g rump (or sirloin of rib-eye) + signature sauce, dessert and underground parking at my residence, The Cape Royale Hotel!

Can I Get The Gnocchi And A Red Vespa To Go Please!
12 Oct 2010 by Seth / No Comments
The more trendy of our London ex-pats will know of Carluccio’s Caffès – a great place to meet over a drink and simple well-prepared Italian food, made on the premises. Although one extra thing seems to have been added to their New Bond Street Carluccio’s menu – something that certainly is Italian and hand-made, but not right there on the premises!

Yes, Advertising To Kids Is Important
04 Oct 2010 by silverstreak / No Comments
Marmite, Mrs Balls Chutney, Iron Brew, and Tropica. These are the flavours of my childhood, and every now and then, a craving hits, and the inevitable binge ensues. I know, I disgust myself. Happily, I’ve been vindicated by science. Get a child hooked on your product in their formative years, and you’ve got them for life.

Anyone who went the first time will happily confirm it was the greatest party of their lives. Well it’s happening again – and it’s gonna be crazier than ever. Chicks in lumo bikinis and roller-skates are not uncommon at these Kings Of Neon parties (how awesome is that name?). Trust me, it’s off the hizzo! [...]

UNIQUELY AUSTRALIAN BRITISH BOEREWORS
06 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Wow, and there I was thinking we were confused! With our London taxis on the roads and people singing Ole Ole at the sports stadiums, we certainly are a melting pot of cultures and have become professionals at ‘borrowing’ foreign nation’s ideas, pastimes and even sayings. Not that there is anything wrong with that – [...]

2OCEANSVIBE PARTNER “NOMU” UP FOR 567 CAPE TALK SMALL BUSINESS AWARD
02 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Big John interviewed Paul Raphaely from NoMU yesterday on 567 Cape Talk Radio, as they discussed NoMU’s nomination in the 567 Cape Talk Small Business awards! While that’s all very cool! And I think even more cool is the fact that Paul revealed how exactly NoMU got its name! Very funny story! I managed [...]

BEWARE THE FURY OF A MCFLUNKY
11 Aug 2010 by silverstreak / No Comments
Especially when they can’t get their daily McFix. I love McDonalds for one reason, and one reason only – the name is brilliant for McPuns (right, enough of that). But millions of people the world over express a deep and burning desire to consume their preferred McDonalds product each and every day, as the need [...]

THE FULL “SETH SONG” (AND LYRICS) BY I SCREAM & THE CHOCOLATE STIX
11 Aug 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are [...]

NANDOS CANADA BRAND POSITIONING – QUITE CLOSE TO THE BUTTOCKS
10 Aug 2010 by silverstreak / 5 Comments
Let me blow your mind: Nandos is in Canada. And no, Brandon Huntley didn’t franchise it. Shocking news, ey? I mean, Nandos must surely be as quintessentially South African as KFC, what with it’s Portuguese name, recipes and store decor. Nevertheless, the great chicken company in the sky is downright universal, making an appearance across [...]

GORDON EFFING RAMSAY IS GETTING EFFING LITIGATED
05 Aug 2010 by silverstreak / No Comments
So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out [...]

GORDON RAMSAY’S EFFING RESTAUARANT, MAZE, SHUTS THE EFF DOWN IN CAPE TOWN
02 Aug 2010 by silverstreak / 10 Comments
When Sol Kerzner enlisted the expertise of the man who is arguably the world’s most popular chef, Gordon Ramsay, he would have felt confident that the star food aspect of his monstrous V&A Waterfront hotel, the One and Only, was buttoned tight. Gordon Effin’ Ramsay opened the five star Maze restaurant at the hotel, but [...]

So after an evening of sushi, springbok bruschetta, Belinni coctails, bubbly, and of course, Butlers Pizza (*COUGH* 2oceansvibe Radio launch COUGH*), there’s only one thing you eat for breakfast. And it’s not a bottle of Boschendal!

CEVICHE A LA JOHANNESBURG
22 Jul 2010 by silverstreak / 1 Comment
If you have a taste for sushi and other good food, and you haven’t tried ceviche, you simply must. Ceviche, for those of you who are uninformed, is a dish of unknown hispanic origin comprised of thinly sliced raw white fish, which is subsequently “cooked” in a thin bath of lemon juice, or a similar [...]

SPOTTED AT THE GRAND ON THE BEACH
22 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Just cruising over the sand in funny shoes. It’s one thing taking off your helmets (ta) but, let’s face it, that doesn’t make it ok.. Not ideal – taking your overseas guests for a lunch and exposing them to a pair of balls on a sunny weekend. Or your kids – let’s not forget about [...]

21 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
For those of you new to the concept – let me first fill you in on the Dreamy Burger. This following excerpt was taken from last year’s burger special announcement: I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab [...]

ASS PRODUCTS – IT’S BEEN A WHILE
13 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just because I haven’t mentioned them for a while doesn’t mean that the “ass flavoured foods” rage hasn’t been growing. Those of you unfamiliar with the flavour du jour which has swept the country may well want to start here to get a grip of what is actually going on. It is interesting to note [...]

WIMPY LAUNCH HILARIOUS ONLINE GAME AND COMPETITION
08 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
If there ever was a brand that has always been around the block, it’s Wimpy. Waves of nostalgia and memories of road-trips to Plett enter my mind, with me servicing my dad a fresh cold beer every couple of hours and a glass (real glass – plastic gives her Ladyship moth ulcers) of wine (with [...]

iPAD A LA CARTE
06 Jul 2010 by silverstreak / No Comments
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks [...]

NANDO’S HAS A GO AT PARIS HILTON

I’ll give these Nando’s characters one thing, they move pretty darn swiftly! Behold the latest viral ad to get cooked on their flame-frilled ovens. This time it’s targeted at Paris Hilton, following the marijuana skandaal in Pretoria last Friday. If you can’t read the small print, it goes like this, “Whether it’s for lunch, supper [...]
