The kitchens all open planned, the bar has this huge framed Italian flag that actually has some blood on it from the war…promise, the manager told me so. The bathroom has the best quote from any movie, and the biggest piece of art in the place is of Marlon Brando sitting over Al Pacino as he hands over power in Godfather two.

So in my opinion Chris spoke shit, it’s not just pizza and pasta, the crispy risotto balls with pork sausages could have a book written about them, the calamari was on a par with the great Ninth Ave Bistro. For mains I had a pizza named after his wife and it was just as hot with jalapeño peppers and hickory smoked ham and slivers of fresh pineapple…in lesser hands it was a Hawaiian Pizza at Lupa it was a triumph, I realize how flowery I sound but it really was my cup of tea. The wife had the special pizza Gorgonzola, Brie & something else it was very good but I couldn’t do the normal trade of one piece swop, as I wasn’t prepared to part with an entire slice, I allowed her a bite and I regarded that as fair, I love food and can’t share it’s my weakness.

We’ve booked again for this week, I’m not finished with that menu. If you live in Hillcrest you’re just lucky I guess.

I’ve shifted your borders to include the corner of Brand & Cromwell road just for tonight.

It’s going to get ugly people, you will get smoke in your eyes, you will eat chicken that’s far too hot & there is a chance you will get sloshed….if any of that scares you then rather go to “unity bar” tonite.

Look there will be a mild option and you don’t have to eat the peri peri livers if you don’t want, but I will think less of you make no mistake.

Once again I took this image off google so please don’t come here tonight thinking your chicken will have those little black lines on it because it won’t, get it out your head.

Just had a really chilled mid week break down at happy wanderers wait for it….in a caravan, I haven’t stayed in a caravan since for ever it was uber cool and the kid loved the paddling pools and monkeys and plethora of kids running/riding/screaming around. Like bad parents we drank loads and allowed the rug rat to run around in the sun until she collapsed from fatigue.

As I write this they are both passed out in front of the Telly watching “Steven the sheep” it’s good to get the sand off and have a shave before work tomorrow…..ahhh free coffee and someone else will make it for me, I miss my little cafe on the corner.

Juddy-rested-&-ready poo.

juddy-cupidy-pooy

so this guy emailed me the other day (lets just call him bevan)….this is how it all went.

bevy -what\’s with those gross \”paintings\” on the walls? nothing fresh and lovely about those – just dark and sinister.

juddy – U are going to have a super new year I can tell.

bevy -i certainly am – who would want to walk through a skull to go and have a cut of coffee? obviously people not thinking

juddy – ahhh bevan, its not a skull bru…..i think we need to pull the artists into this……so i asked ewok to please throw a little light on this demonic shit on my cafe….and damit did he answer.

dear comedy lovers and such,

So as I post this I realise the poster is already up on Facebook and I have bookings pouring in (normally I just say that shit to get you guys into gear, but for once im not lying) if its four comedians and they each have only like 10 followers the 40 seats are taken out of 70 so hurry.

yes im doing bunny chows, yes there is a veg option, yes you can have as many as you want, yes they are lank kiff, yes im serving topless wearing only a thong and my glasses….boom.

I love free coffee, and only when these doors opened again on the 10th of Jan, did I stop paying, I empathise with people who don’t own coffee shops and are forced to pay for every single cup they drink, what a nightmare….how sobering.

if you go down to the woods today you are sure of a big surprise

The break was great, beach and home everyday if it rained we didn’t leave the couch, spent a few nights in the midlands and I rode my bike for miles. its fair to say we are rested ready for a new year.

Some big changes at the cafe of love this year. the main one being the kids area….can you believe the corner cafe now has a kids area? bloody sand pit, ten pin bowling, rock climbing wall, chalk board an even a little kiddies menu. yip folks the times they are a changing my kid needs to come to work with us and so ive put in a little Astroturf safe haven for her to explore, until she is ready to waiter next year that is.

And dammit does that kid loves the water, she was in water for at least an hour everyday from the beach to Sutton park swimming pool even her little clam shell was permanently filled (with harvested rain water, dah).

some days we even put sunblock on her

New years was chilled, as in a small roof top party with 360 degree views of the fireworks. but we still got shit faced and chundderd and slept till noon on the first day of the year.

the priest, the waiter and the rapper

My birthday was at “craft” this year….best pizza i ever ate, the priest had a pancetta burger that was award-winning and no-one at the table wasnt blown away….so much better have then when one poor schmuck gets a sub standard meal and bitches for days after. I havent been to craft since it opened and I don’t remember how it was then but its the best time we’ve had since….ok since new years eve, but you know what I mean dammit.

yes im having a tequila damit…boom.

But the fun is over and the work must start, the wifes back at the cafe now full-time and the menu is summerfied and the specials are selling out daily….and yes, I drink coffee till I grind my teeth I feel my heart beat like a phone book in a tumble dryer.

we are open for business my friends bring your money we are broke on a whole new level.
