TV: Seth On SABC 3′s Top Billing – ‘Roast Summer Vegetables’
31 Jan 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Ja, so basically I surprised even the great Silwood Cooking school, with my orgasmic roast summer vegetable dish. But I can’t take all the credit for it – as it was sent through from France, by Mother Dearest. Click link for the video (and recipe), in case you missed it. Fans of Idols’ Adeline will be quite pleased with this too..

We’re Out Of Chocolate By 2014
28 Jan 2011 by hansie / No Comments
Unrest in the Ivory Coast is making it impossible to live there let alone farm cocoa. Now, half the world’s cocoa comes from the Ivory Coast. Which means half the world’s chocolate comes from the Ivory Coast. We can absolutely not get by with half the world producing the whole world’s chocolate. Absolutely not.

They’re STILL Chowing Our Lions In Arizona
20 Jan 2011 by hansie / No Comments
Just before the soccer world cup we brought you a story about a deranged restaurant owner in Arizona serving up lion’s meat as a cute homage to SA. Now those yanks are at it again. This time in a different restaurant in the same carnivorous state. They just can’t keep their hands off our cats.

DIY Gastric Bypass Fun
17 Jan 2011 by Andrew Gould / No Comments
If you’re as grossly obese as this man taking a brisk walk every couple of days just won’t do when attempting to lose weight. There are a number of reasons for this, foremost amongst which are that you weigh so much that you cannot walk and if you do manage to get up your legs will sheer at the ankles.

Our Dear Leader’s Sister Invented The Hamburger
17 Jan 2011 by liam kruger / No Comments
So! Pretend we’re having that bit of dialogue from Pulp Fiction where we talk about Burger King burgers being called ‘royale’ in France, except we’re talking about North Korea, and they call them “minced meat and bread,” to avoid referring to the uniquely American hamburger. Also, this is a new thing.

Economic Heat – Jardine Chef Gets Out Of The Kitchen
14 Jan 2011 by silverstreak / No Comments
The phrase goes, “If you can’t handle the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen”. In economic terms, the past two years have been pretty chilly, which has in turn left more than a few businesses owners feeling a little hot under the collar. Controversial Cape Town restaurant, Jardine, is the latest to fall foul of the global recession, and the head chef has made for greener pastures.

As If Getting Fat Wasn’t Enough To Make You Feel Guilty
14 Jan 2011 by silverstreak / No Comments
Now your chocolate hoovering habit is propping up the revenues of would-be dictators, more specifically, the regime of the Ivory Coast’s political limpet, Laurent Gbagbo. Feel bad. Feel very bad. And fat. Evil and fat.

11 Jan 2011 by silverstreak / No Comments
Chatter on the street is that Prince William’s stag party is going down at the Fez in Cape Town. Nothing’s confirmed at this point, but the rationale for the speculation is rather convincing. Click through for more.

Having never met before, SA cricket captain, Graeme Smith and SA surf champ, Jordy Smith, finally met at Cafe Caprice this week. Apparently they were downing 2oceansvibe cocktails all night.

Stodels Nursery Expands Ass Offering
04 Jan 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
It was just a month ago that a reader sent in proof that Stodels Nursery was selling ‘Ass Succulents.’ We agreed that this made sense, giving the current demand for Ass Products. But Ass Succulent sales were clearly off the charts, as Stodels is now also selling Pear Ass and Peach Ass. Who would have thought? Check it out after the link.

Checkers? Nataniel? “Turducken”? Really?
20 Dec 2010 by silverstreak / 6 Comments
Checkers have made well-known South African socialite, fashion designer and aspiring chef (that’s kok in Afrikaans, I’ll have you know), Nataniel their go-to guy for meat-product advertisment. As you can see, they like to push it pretty hard.

Headstand Cyclist Cruises Past Cafe Caprice
20 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
The Silly Season is no better on display than in the hub of silliness, Camps Bay. Our brothers and sisters from the north have arrived, with their vests and muscles and costume jewelry. It’s quite beautiful to watch, my china! I took a little video clip of the action and you just won’t believe what I caught on tape, cycling past.

Camps Bay Friendly Store Redeems Itself
13 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
When I mentioned to the Friendly store owner last weekend that they should look into stocking the Robertsons Salt & Vinegar seasoning (I use it on popcorn – like at the movies), I didn’t expect it to appear on the shelves so soon. One week later, BANG, there it was. Nice job, Friendly store.

Guess Beach Summer Fashion Show At Caprice
07 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I have been dying for these pics from the GUESS fashion show which was held at Caprice at the end of last week. It was on the beach and was jam-packed with beautiful angels and slicksters, all melting into the Atlantic Ocean and Camps Bay sunset. 14 beautiful models dressed in the latest GUESS threads took to the ramp as table mountain glowed in the dusk. Click for the carnage..

Stodels Selling Ass Succulents
03 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With the Ass Flavour and Ass Food explosion experienced over the past year or so, it was only a matter of time before people would want to grow some ass at home. It would be dangerous to use your own ass to create different foods and drinks, so a big round of applause goes to Stodels nurseries who have stepped up to the plate.

I must say, had I known they were serving ass fillings, I would never have gone for the cheese. Get yours now, at the Spar in Observatory. So innovative. So 2010.

Nando’s Punishes Cell C With 5G Chicken
27 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Nando’s have taken things to the next level this time, with the appointment of their new “CEO.” His name is Kagiso and the whole ad rips off every ounce of the Trevor Noah Cell C ads. They mention 5G (rather than Cell C’s claimed 4G) and they even play with the Cell C ‘logo’ at the end. Full marks!

Researchers at NEC System Technologies have designed robots with the ability to identify dozens of different wines, cheeses and appetizers, because that’s something we need robots for. Except they think people taste like bacon.

So The Internet Isn’t Public Domain, Apparently
05 Nov 2010 by liam kruger / No Comments
A blog post written by Monica Gaudio was copied entirely and published in a for-profit magazine, Cook’s Source, without permission or payment. On contacting the publication, Ms. Gaudio was informed that “the web is considered ‘public domain’” and that she should compensate Cook’s Source for editing her work. Things have not gone well for Cook’s Source since then.

Sea Point Spar Selling The Ass Of A Muffin
01 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was not aware that muffin’s had an ass, let alone a tail, or any other body part for that matter. Sure, humans do get ‘muffin top’ when their jeans are too tight, but I had never imagined it the other way around. Nonetheless, the Spar on Regent Road, Sea Point seem to be ahead of all of us and are now selling just the ass part of a muffin. Amazing!
