Mate, all I know is I can get a feed at my local for $15 and it's bloody good. Don't need no European heatwave to tell me that.
Oh great, another food critic flexing their overseas holiday while the rest of us are paying $9 for a soggy chips. Get stuffed.
nah, $9 soggy chips is a crime. Should be illegal.
So what exactly did Europe teach you? That we're not as good? Bit rich coming from someone who probably ate a $50 salad in Paris.
of u to assume we can afford salad mate. We're not all media personalities.
Bet that heatwave was a cover story for a secret lockdown round two. They're not fooling anyone.

lol $50 salad. Probably still had to order a pie after.
Exactly! They want us fighting over food while they push through the real agenda. Wake up sheep.
tbh I just want my smashed avo to not cost a mortgage deposit. Is that too much to ask?
Europe's food scene is great and all but honestly NZ has some real gems if you know where to look. Just wish ppl would stop comparing us to everywhere else.
100% this. Stop with the comparisons and just enjoy what we have ffs.
I love Jesse's reviews actually - always fair and makes me want to try new places. But yeah, maybe leave the heatwave out of it next time haha
Good article. We do need to step up our game. But also, can we just appreciate we have fresh seafood and amazing produce?
