Oh, dear, I keep forgetting to write this review. Not, I hasten to add, because it was a bad experience, but because I’m busy and disorganised, and possibly because a surfeit of duck is detrimental to the will. My choice was Mr. Chan in Sea Point, which was recommended to us by friends, who also [...]
Gah. Our visit to La Boheme is receding in the rear-view mirror, with no review to show for it. Bad Salty-Crackerer, no biscuit. I chose La Boheme because I was looking for that Bistro vibe – friendly, bustling, tasty, generous. La Boheme is all that, and, should I forget to actually say that, heartily recommended: [...]

Or, A Tale Of Two Restaurants It was the best of Crack, it was the worst of Crack. No, wait. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a Salty Cracker. Uh… no. This is not a review of Kubo’s Little Japan [...]
It seem highly unlikely the Eckhard will write his own review, so the other Crackers will do mini review jobbies of our own, sort of on his behalf.
