Our motto: dodginess is next to godliness. When we go out to eat we make it an adventure, we eat out to enjoy, not to nitpick. Stuff like lighting, decor and how comfy the seats are is irrelevant to us, in fact the dodgier the better we reckon.
Service schmervice. We are not fussy about service, though it is usually cheery and efficient, we find that if we are nice we get nice service in return, if not who cares, what does one expect when paying on average $10 a dish? As long as we are fed we are happy.
We only blog the restaurants we like. If we eat at a restaurant we don't like we won't blog it. Fortunately bad street food restaurants are hard to find. In ten years or so of trawling street food places I can only think of a couple that were just plain bad. We have a good eye for street food joints and Miss Chicken has a sixth sense when it comes to ordering. We are rarely disappointed. I wish we could say the same for ‘regular’ restaurants…
We blog for the fun of it. This blog is just a bit of self-education and self-expression for two people who can't colour inside the lines. We don't seek or accept freebies or payments from restaurants, and we are not employed in any related industry. We do accept the occasional freelance writing gig from publishers who like bad spelling.

I love the little boy waiter, so cute! =)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great guide for anyone who wants to eat their way through Sydney. More interesting and reliable than any other cheap eats guide I have come across.
ReplyDeleteLove your approach! I've added you to my blog, Scoff and Quaff. It's got recipes, cooking schools and a couple of schmancy places but street food is my first love :)
ReplyDeleteHehe - nothin' wrong with a bit of schmancy now and again!
