A small selection of the pics from our recent photo shoot for @theright.fit @grilldburgers and @sofispritz - and please welcome @samantha_woollett to her first Spooning model shoot haha - Sam is the Spooning Social Media Scheduler for a bunch of clients and our very first staff member. Nice work Sam!⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ BUT - back to the pics - Sofi Spritz is now in Grill'd locations and after the shoot I sat down and devoured a Low Carb Beef burg (delicious) with the White Peach and Ginger Spritz and I bloody loved it. I haven't been to Grill'd in years - but will be returning to my local in Dee Why soon.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ A small history of Grill'd - it basically started my Food Career - my original blog was called Sydney Table and it was mostly my own recipes with hideous phone photos on a phone 15yrs old now. I got an invite out of the blue to try Grill'd new Low Carb bun at the launch at World Square, I attended and met my first crazy foodie friend @teafortammi - she invited me as a plus one to a food festival where I got sick trying everything they offered while being a paleo eater for a year - I gave up the paleo, met a food PR firm and as they say, the rest is history, calories and an entirely new career!! It was lovely to come full circle now as a food photographer and social media company and work with the business that helped start it all.⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #grillddeewhy⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ #grilld #foodeez #sofispritz #burgers #airbornefood #foodporn #burgerporn #sydneyeats #forkyeah #ad #instafood #foodgasm #northern beaches #sydneyfoodies #deewhyeats #mouthwatering #feedfeed #menwithcuisines #lickyourphone #foodie #salads #grilldburgers #foodlover #eatfamous #lemonsqueeze #foodphotography #burgerlove #instaburger #deewhy⁠⠀ (at Grill'd Dee Why) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6PiCVvFOZZ/?igshid=11lfy1ja9mn2

A wonderful shoot at @sonomabakingco with @lickyourphone and @meandu - I always thought these guys only had pastries, bread and coffee and that was it. Nay nay dear face stuffing followers - salads, juices, specialty ice teas that blew my mind and much more. I fell in love with the egg dish in the third pic and then their Hummus Dish with Eggs and Pickles went down nicely - and as it's Christmas they have Stollen available - EAT IT ALL :). ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ #sonomabakery⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ #sydney #sydneycafes #sydneyfoodie #sydneylocals #sydney🇦🇺 #sydney_insta #sydneyfoodblogger #sydneyfoodies #sydneyinfluencers #sydneybrunch #sydneyeats #sydneycheapeats #rosebay #rosebayfood #foodie #sydneyfoodblog #sydneylife #sydneyfoodshare #foodblogger #bakery #bakedgoods #sydneyfoodporn #sydneybakery #yolkporn #coffee #hummus #stollen (at Sonoma Bakery Rose Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6M9doAlJZ-/?igshid=ogvv9eld1065

I had a truly delicious and unique experience lunching at @rubylanewholefoods last week with bestie Tj. Everything about Ruby Lane is healthy, mostly plant based, and wonderfully guilt free.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ I started with a Mermaid Latte made with Blue Algae, Tj started with the Turmeric Latte. We then followed this with a detox shot board - a cleansing trio of shots to boost the soul - Ruby’s beetroot kvass / kombucha / activated charcoal - first time i've had shots that were good for me :).⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Food wise I devoured the Fresh Harvest - roasted heirloom carrots, fermented beetroot, carrot hummus⁣⁠⠀ and Ruby’s cashew cheese on organic superseed sourdough with a shot of Ruby’s beetroot kvass and added smoke trout. Tj devoured their Serious Eggs Benny - ⁣⁠⠀ two pasture raised eggs, toasted GF focaccia, spinach, Ruby’s hollandaise (emulsion of macadamia, hemp, coconut, EVO and kombucha), lemon gremolata and chilli good oil with your choice of: free range bacon, smoked ham, house smoked trout or mushrooms. Tj went the mushrooms.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Then my fave dishe - a dessert I can actually eat on my healthy diet of the moment. Choc Fudge Brownie Sundae with salted caramel sauce and PANA coconut ice cream. No unnatural sugars and everything deliciously healthy in moderation.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ These guys have venues in Mona Vale and Manly and if you want to eat some seriously healthy food you need to visit!!⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #rubylane⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ #healthfood #spooningaust #instafood #turmericlatte #smokedtrout #cleaneating #organicfood #foodoftheday #breakfast #mybreakfastisbetterthanyours #eggsbenedict #kombucha #eeeeeats #brunch #agfg #monavalebeach #eeeeeats #bees #foodpornshare #sydneyeats #foodphotography #sydneyfoodphotographer #chocfudge #sundae #agfg #fcba⁠ #healthydiet #foodforthesoul⁠⠀ (at Ruby Lane Wholefoods) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6HyiHFl7dH/?igshid=1hrewsi2k3mbl

It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas at @kusuka.cafe - one of the best cafes in Sydney. We visited to try their new Xmas range but of course I had to have my favourite dish, their Campfire Bowl first - seriously one of the tastiest noodle dishes of all time. ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Just check out all their amazing instaporn food and head in there before Xmas to check out the gastronomical wonders of Christmasy Kusuka.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Thanks for having us in again Mario and Team Kusuka and may you all have a wonderful Christmas.⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #kusukacafe⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #noodles #spooningaust #instafood #marshmallows #foodcoma #gastronomy #christmasfood #foodoftheday #breakfast #mybreakfastisbetterthanyours #breakfastinsydney #eggporn #eeeeeats #brunch #agfg #bestfoodaroundtheworld #foodporn #fcba #eatfamous #snowmen #foodpornshare #sydneyeats #foodphotography #sydneyfoodphotographer #prettyfood #brunchgoals #festivefood #christmas⠀⁠⠀ (at Kusuka Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6AEl5OFtad/?igshid=vo2et7cpx6w

Sharing the foodporn from our wonderful shoot with the folks at @burger_hounds_rozelle - James and his crew never cease to amaze with the deliciousness and porn worthy food they create.

With @thegreenhousetuggerah being in the middle of a shopping centre I wasn't expecting food this good. I had a wonderful time shooting all their cafe fare with the mushroom and egg dish being my favourite. And sandwiches - I always love sandwiches, and milkshakes, and pancakes! ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ We had a lot of fun and had so many people stop and look while we shot the dishes, if I heard one more "would you like a food taster?" ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Check these guys out if you're ever in @westfieldtuggerah and give them a follow - they will be doing their very first post this week. ⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #spooningaust⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ #sandwiches #thegreenhousetuggerah #instafood #milkshakes #foodcoma #salads #pancakes #foodoftheday #breakfast #mybreakfastisbetterthanyours #salads #flatlay #eeeeeats #brunch #agfg #chocolatebrownies #foodporn #fcba #eatfamous #eeeeeats #blueberries #foodpornshare #centralcoasteats #foodphotography #sydneyfoodphotographer #tuggerah #brunchgoals #westfieldtuggerah #spooningaust⠀ (at The Greenhouse Tuggerah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B569IETFAkq/?igshid=6b5xf5o20opm

I had the most wonderful photo shoot last week at @fratellifresh for @lickyourphone and @meandu ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ I never knew Fratelli Fresh had food this good. Cocktails, pizzas and pastas so good I have gone on a diet since the shoot haha. And I was so blown away - they had oysters with GOLD on them - it looked like a crustacean had crossed with a jewel and should only be served to royalty. I took two :).⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Full disclosure, #meandu is a client but the #billythebeacon is on the tables at Fratelli Fresh Darling Harbour and I am so impressed with this ordering and payment solution. I am totally biased but it has helped me a few times recently while checking it out at venues. Their expansion is huge and with $8mil in funding announced this week the options for their growth and success potential is out of this world. So happy to be working with #lickyourphone on this wonderful venture.⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #fratellifresh⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⁣⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⁣⁠⠀⁣⁠⠀ #sydney #sydneyrestaurants #sydneyfoodie #sydneylocals #sydney_insta #sydneyfoodbloggers #sydneyfoodies #sydneyinfluencers #sydneyeats #darlingsquare #foodgasm #foodie #sydneyfoodblog #sydneylife #italianfood #sydneyfoodshare #foodblogger #pizzaandpasta #cocktails #menwithcuisines #pastalift #foodporn #flatlay #spooningaust #goldenoysters (at Fratelli Fresh) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5uC3ExlamW/?igshid=do47yc7saya4

Finished another shoot for one of my fave restaurants in Sydney. The food game at @aristotles_neutralbay is off the charts, making some of the best Greek Food in town.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Located in Neutral Bay this is one place you MUST put on your lists if you haven't been yet. They have a few knew dishes that need to be checked out. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Still my favourite halloumi on Earth and their new chicken dish is the one I finished and licked the bowl for.

Staying back on the Central Coast for a few days of photography work and the bonus was I was staying just around the corner from @theglassonionsociety which is probably my all time fave cafe on the Coast. I am back to embracing healthy clean eats food so it was wonderful to be able to breakfast here - all their food is nutritional goodness and most dishes can be made plant based or carnivore embracing in delivery.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ For breakfast on day one I went back to my paleo caveman roots and had the CAPTAIN CAVEMAN 2 (AKA Paleo bowl) - sesame smashed avocado, 2 poached eggs, lemon kale, bacon, sumac roasted tomato and grilled sweet potato.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Breakfast on day two was my reward meal and it was still healthy, and I will slip it in now, probably my favourite pancake dish of all time - it is HEAVENLY!! VANILLA GORILLA (Vegan) - vanilla banana pancakes with maple cinnamon, almond cream, glazed strawberries, maple syrup and house made blueberry jam. I added some bacon because bacon :). ⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #theglassonionsociety⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #centralcoast #thisisthecentralcoast #thisisthelife #coastalliving #vegan #centralcoastnsw #sydneyfoodblogger #vegetarian #vegan #longjetty #getinmybelly #veganfriendly #paleo #keto #bacon #centralcoasteats #centralcoastfood #healthy #cleaneating #eatclean #organic #realfood #nutrition #primal #foodporn #foodphotpgraphy #iphonepics #spooningaust #brunchgoals (at The Glass Onion Society) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5o4_NhlgHD/?igshid=1bas1gtbaa2se

E P I C Venue Notification - recently open @tokki_syd has already made my Top 10 Venues for 2019 - I just adore this Korean/ Japanese fusion venue based on Izakayas. Fantastic drinks and even more fantastic food. It's mostly all share plates and the venue itself is a Modern Industrial meets Scandi design that is both light, manageable and comforting. ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Also - shame on me - had to use the barman/ waiter in shots because of that tat and his toned physique haha - he made the food look better lol.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ The place is located on Foveaux St in Surry Hills and it's only a few minute walk from Central Station so no excuse not to visit!⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Pics and Dishes in Order:⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ ��� TOKKI BBQ TRAY - assorted mix tray - short beef rib,⁣⁠⠀ pork belly, baby pork galbi,⁣⁠⠀ gochujang chicken⁣⁠⠀ 🏚 The Venue⁣⁠⠀ 🍹 Cocktail Porn⁣⁠⠀ 🏠 The Venue⁣⁠⠀ 🦀 CRABBIE ROLL - spanner crab brioche roll ⁣⁠⠀ ☯️ #matingseason⁣⁠⠀ 🌽 BBQ CORN - sichimi, yuzu yogurt⁣⁠⠀ 🌻 ZUCHINNI FLOWER - ricotta, jalepeno, satay⁣⁠⠀ mayo (3pc)⁣⁠⠀ 🐷 BABY PORK GALBI - soy, shichimi, galbi sauce⁣⁠⠀ 🐮 WAGYU SHORT RIBS - wagyu short-rib, wild berry⁣⁠⠀ umeshu ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Just Heavenly!⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ #tokkisydney⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ .⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ #sydneycocktails #cocktials #crabroll #tattoos #cornonthecob #izakaya #zucchiniflowers #comfortfood #koreanfood #japanesefood #koreanfusion #foodphotography #beefshortrib #shareplate #surrhillseats #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #eeeeeats #sogood #hungry #surryhillsfood #delicious #igfood #sydneyfoodbloggers #porkgalbi #menwithcuisines #lickyourphone #bestsydneyrestaurants (at Tokki) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hKsfplbiD/?igshid=1966fh827rhps

The wonderful people from @dizyscafe sent me an invite to come and dine at their venue - I looked at their insta and was sold, the aesthetic of their page is all black and yellow, I loved it, it deserved a visit. I didn't realise it was a three hour driving round trip aka 90mins each way. I had committed so I was making the effort, begrudgingly. I conned @jimmywongeats to join me and we hit the road.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ We arrived to find that the venue was in an industrial area, under a gym, and you entered the venue via a caprark - it was not looking promising in the slightest.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ But we both agreed at the end of the meal, it was so worth it!! The venue perfectly matched the aesthetic and counter made my ocd buzz - it was beautiful and so clean. They used be a protein/ gym foods food supplier and while they still have a fridge that allows you to collect all your pre-packed gym health food they have now rebranded as a cafe with burgs, fried chicken, a lot of healthy options and everything that ticks off the health and the cheat day options for gym people and people that love good food. They even fully accommodate puppy dawgs!! I was a good boy so I got to eat all the good stuff!!⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Pics In Order:⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ 🐓TENNESSEE ZINGER BURGER - Fried chicken, American cheddar, slaw, sriracha aioli, hickory bbq⁣⁠⠀ 💫 Logo Chopping Board⁣⁠⠀ 🥛 OREO SHAKE Cookies n cream ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, Oreo crumbs AND MANGO WEIS SHAKE - Mango, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, syrup, pineapple juice⁣⁠⠀ 🥣 GRANOLA⁣⁠⠀ ☕️ THE AESTHETICS AND CLEANLINESS OF THIS COUNTER MADE MY HEART POUND 💖⁣⁠⠀ 🐕 #DIZYSDOGS Section - just love it⁣⁠⠀ 🐔 DIZY WINGS - Fried buffalo wings, grated manchego cheese, ranch⁣⁠⠀ 🍟 THE SINGLE BEST LOADED FRIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! - LOUISIANA LOADED WEDGES - Sweet potato wedges, pulled brisket, Mexican cheesa, jalapenos, liquid cheese, sour cream, chives, prosciutto crumbs⁣⁠⠀ 😜 SOME SUPERMODEL WE HIRED FOR THE DAY hahahahaha⁣⁠⠀ 🐶 ONE OF THE CUTEST PUPPY DAWGS I HAVE EVER SEEN⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Loved the visit - huge thanks to the Dizy Peeps for the invite - if you are ever in the Smeaton Grange area pop in and enjoy a meal!!

In the midst of the Sydney smoke days last week I trotted off to @butchersblockgroup in Granville. The Butcher's Block also has venues in Barangaroo and Wahroonga and the story behind Granville was wonderful. The venue is located inside the venue of the owner's mother-in-law's old fruit and vegetable shop from the dawn of time, or thereabouts haha. There is a little dedication - was heart-warming to hear and filled the venue with an abundance of character and history.⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ We were here to enjoy their fine food and enjoy we did! The ribs were on another level, so tender they fell off the bone. The marinade was made with love and didn't taste like someone soaked them in a bottle of BBQ sauce for half a day, it was nuanced, moreish and bloody delicious. Beef rib for the best meat and pork ribs for the best marinade. ⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ The Seafood Chowder was delightful, subtle and something I would love on a regular basis and my dining guest @jimmywongeats called the chicken wings "the best wings I have ever eaten." Jimmy was a Masterchef, he knows food - you MUST eat these babies when you are there - they are so finger licking good you might need a second order!⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ Pics in Order:⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ 🍖 Lamb Ribs - Soy, ginger, harissa⁣⁠⠀ 🌲 Back wall and seating ⁣⁠⠀ 🍗 Spicy Wings - Fried chicken wings, chilli sauce, cucumber⁣⁠⠀ ☕️ The Counter⁣⁠⠀ 🥛 Divine Smoothies - mine was something like caramel and cinnamon - Jimmy's was strawberry and some other wonderful fruits - drinks aren't on the online menu and some goose didn't photograph the menu when we were there - I'm blaming Jimmy hahaha⁣⁠⠀ 🐟 Chowder FTW - this one is new and not on the online menu as yet but is in-store - clam & mussel chowder with fresh, crunchy sourdough, and garlic toum ⁣⁠⠀ 🐠 More Chowder Love⁣⁠⠀ 🥗 A delicious side salad⁣⁠⠀ 🐄 Beef Shortrib with House BBQ glaze⁣⁠⠀ 🍰 Toffee Pie - Oat pastry, caramel, vanilla ice cream⁣⁠⠀ ⁣⁠⠀ We also ate a soft shelled crab but it didn't photograph sexy enough :).
