Last Night’s BBQ

smoked_ribs
The guys start early in the morning. I usually rock up at around lunch time, the wait until 8pm when stuff finally comes out of the smoker is long and hard but it’s always SO WORTH IT!

ribs2
Sexual!

wings
Wings, drumsticks, pork ribs and pulled pork!

Smoked goodness, every Sunday! The boys are constantly at it, refining their smoking techniques as well as the meat rub. This week we had drum sticks in the smoker which were unbelievable. Salmon too which blew minds!!! Pork was better than ever too.

Manpuku Black

Manpuku BLACK! Finally ordered something different!

manpuku_thankyou
Their new 2015 menu is out now. They’ve changed their bowls, which I was initially disappointed in, but then at the bottom there was this! Now that’s cool.

Porky goodness. We both went for a tasting plate each and damn that side of mash was killer.

We then crossed the road for a freshly baked pistachio Kurtosh!

Alain and I dropped by Pork’d yesterday for a couple of beers and a piggy feed. So satisfying. SO GOOD!

Nanami took me to this tiny little Japanese yakitori restaurant on Crown St. in Darlinghurst today. We weren’t there for the yakitori though, we were there for their ramen, and get this, they only make 30 bowls of it a day!

Loved the fitout inside, art painted direct onto the concrete walls, a large shared table made of plumbing pipes, wood and stone and a few low tables and stools. It’s instantly welcoming and VERY Japanese. I love it!

Chaco Bar are offering 2 different bowls of Ramen. We ordered both, and made sure to upgrade the shit out of our orders. Extra fat, extra char siu, dumplings and a side serve of gyoza too! One quick sample of both broths had us both in nomland. The gyoza were damn tasty too!

Highly recommend! GO GO GO!

meat
Mmmm. Meat!

fire
Flame on.

beefrib_sitting
Letting the meat sit before eating it was so fucking painful, FUCK!

beefrib_cutting
But then, holy shit balls. OMFG that fucking beef rib! Too good. TOO GOOD!

Epic BBQ last night. The boys have upgraded their smoker and last night was it’s trial run. Everything was awesome but the Beef Rib was so next level, it’s not even funny. I dare say that the boys could serve up this beef rib and blow the socks off just about ANYONE who’s a fan of meat!

Old School Crew Reunion at Chi and Co.

chiandco
Juxtaposition! Chi and Co., a hip Asian restaurant with very ‘now’ branding and interior decor, but… in Canley Vale!

bao
Food was good! Tasty, punchy. I liked it.

rain
Pakula making it rain!

Mad catch ups with the old school crew the other night. Auto Salon magazine, IS Motor Racing, JDMyard, all the guys who inspired me to create JDMST back in the day. Time flies, but everyone still looks and acts the same. Lots of laughs as expected! Always great vibes when these guys are all together (which sadly is a real rarity these days).

Has been a really chill B’Day weekend. Dinner and drinks at Richie and Jamie’s on my B’Day night was awesome. Lounging on the couch for most of Sunday before heading out to lounge on a mate’s couch all afternoon into night was great too. Haha.
