Scar Hair on Kloof Street, Cape Town raised over R9000 for CANSA. Owners Jodi and Andrew teamed up with this amazing charity and had a very successful fundraiser in the form of an auction.
Well done guys for using your initiative and getting involved!
Hey everybody! I’m very excited to be involved with Scar Hair’s fundraiser for CANSA, this Sat, 12 May 2012, from 11am ‘til 3pm’ish. There will be super cool items/ vouchers/ etc. on auction, yummy burgers and drinks from &UNION. Pop around to catch the fundraising action at the first SCAR-O-THON. I’ll be interviewing all the funky peeps and celebs, so come and help us raise lots of cash for this amazing charity. Get your Scar on!!!
As everybody knows I’m not really one for fast/ junk food and have been campaigning against supporting the larger chains for years. But, after my third visit to Hudson’s on Kloof Street in one month, I really think it’s time for me to officially broaden my culinary spectrum to include, at least at this spot, burgers.
Tonight I had The Player Burger: 250 grams of great quality beef patty, topped with smoked back bacon, feta and avocado. The sesame bun was super fresh, the fries perfectly crispy and not greasy at all, and the roast garlic infused mayo was seriously good. (I almost got more fries just to finish the mayo!)
Meals like this are often a hit-and-miss when it comes to repeat visits, but at Hudson’s they seem to get it right every time. The service is friendly and on-the-ball with no attitude, the music is great with current tunes and oldies to bob along to, and there are several great local beers on tap (yay!!!).
One thing though: It is beyond me why an owner would allow a massive screen with sport intruding on the nice atmosphere in such a small restaurant. The screen is almost as big as the bar, which forces you to watch it if you are sitting on one of the banquettes. Epic fail! With such a great concept in an always perfectly lit space, things such as plasma screens may encourage some diners to opt for a take away rather than a sit down meal. No man. We all love sports, but at dinner?
I will encourage anybody to visit Hudson’s. It’s so lovely and reasonably priced. Great for a night out with friends or a casual first date. I like very much!!!
Die Fluitspeler van Hamelin was een van my gunsteling shows by die ABSA KKNK 2012.
Niel Rademan en Zorada Temming het in samewerking met Phillip de Vos met hierdie wonderlike konsep vorendag gekom. Ek het dit regtig geniet.
Ek sien baie uit om weer die show in Stellenbosch te sien te kry!
Ek is al vir jare ‘n huge fan van Koos Kombuis, so dit was regtig ‘n treat vir my om met hom te gesels… en in my ou laerskoolsaal nogal.
Ek gesels met Nianell & Romanz reg na hulle sold out show by die ABSA KKNK 2012.
Babbel, die breinbaba van die ongelooflik talentvolle Nicola Hanekom, het gehore se asems behoorlik weggeslaan by die ABSA KKNK.
Met groot name soos Tinarie Van Wyk Loots, Stian Bam en Niels van Jaarsveld sal mens altyd sulkses he, maar in die spesikieke geval is dit Nicola Hanekom se oog vir detail en talent en haar visie wat die wen resep is.
Eerlikwaar my mond het behoorlik oopgehang.
Babbel is nou te sien in Pretoria en ek raai enigiemand aan om die epic belewenis te gaan ondervind.
Willem Welsyn het ‘n great show gedoen by La Dolce Vita (my gunsteling breakfast spot gedurende die fees) en vir 5 aande het hy die baie lively crowd in Oudtshoorn vermaak.
Dis nie baie dat ‘n mens dieselfde show ‘n paar keer in ‘n ry kan sien en dieselfde satisfaksie daaruit kry nie.
Willem welsyn is ‘n baie interessante ou, so lees tog die great artikel oor hom in die POMP 2012 geskryf deur Izak du Plessis.
