I’ve recently being upgrading my kitchen gear, and was on the lookout for a pair of oven mitts that clearly defined me, as a person, in a humorous and quirky way. I came across these by Brazil based Bazar Design on OhGizmo, only to find that they aren’t available quite yet. Which was somewhat depressing. [...]

Omurice (short for Omlette Rice) is as Japanese as you can get. It’s fairly simple food – basically tomato friend rice wrapped up in an omlette. Sometimes served with a side of meat or veggies. You usually find these in Japanese ‘family’ restaurants like Denny’s or Gusto’s. As a picky little child, when it came [...]

Came accross this in my favourite Sydney bookstore, Ariel, the other day. A pretty novel concept – combining two of our favourite things in the world: Art and Eating. The author put this book together over a great excuse for a trip around Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam to London and New York. His road-trip rules [...]

We rarely bring a pre-made sandwich into the DEGOURGET offices, but from our past experiences working in corporate hellholes, we understand the pain involved in losing ones midday meal to some light fingered co-worker scum.

The Noko Jeans project has sent my imagination running wild and my jealousy levels through the roof.

The long awaited and recently launched Timeout Sydney features Chinatown in this weeks issue. We equally love Sydney’s Chinatown, and we love how they refer to it as “Sydney’s only truly eastern suburb”. They really captured some great photos in 24hrs in Chinatown And who doesn’t think of food when they think of Chinatown? It’s [...]

Marketed for eel lovers in Japan, a new beer has been launched to quench the thirst for the opressively warm Japanese summer. Apparently the beer is very complimentary for the sticky and slightly sweet flavours of the unagi (eel). Translated below is some of the reasoning behind Miyashita’s Sake Brewery’s newest endevour… Unagi is traditionally [...]

I’d say most countries have their variation on chicken soup. For example, Polski’s do the standard, Japanese go ramen style and the Greeks have that lemony rice number… All super yum, BUT, the ultimate on my leaderboard of chicken soups I discovered on a trip to Mexico. Eating this soup (mind you it was swealtering [...]
