Dine

Foodie: A person with a particular interest in food; a gourmet.

Albeit an overused term for the chronically online, I consider it the truest descriptor of my relationship with gastronomy.

Good cuisine, whether it be an elevated tasting menu or casual small plates, is one of life’s simplest and most effective pleasures. And I’m nothing if not a hedonist.

Drink

As a Michelin star head bartender in a former life, one of my favourite pastimes is playing cocktail critic.

From low-lit speakeasy to sky-view lounge, it’s hard to go wrong with a game of footsie underneath table.

Warning: Indulging this mixology geek may result in a wetter whistle than you bargained for.
