On food

Back in October 2013, I started to write a few columns for the Bendigo Weekly about the local food scene.

Other than the ability, honed from 20 years of family law affidavit writing, to string a few sentences together I think my qualification for the gig was being a frequent flyer in many local restaurants.

What was going to be a once a month or so thing has morphed into a weekly column about food, focusing on local producers and restaurants.  Even with that, I still have many, many words tumbling around in my head about food, and so this blog.

First though, you may like to recapture some of my Weekly columns:

I kicked off with a general round up of a few things happening locally

then, rookie mistake, I stupidly shared how good the food was at my local.  Not claiming it is just because of my word, but I now struggle to get a table
