I have fallen way off the healthy food band wagon and indulged my sense in the tastiest food you could ever think of. One of them consisted of my Christ’s bucket list which was eggs benedict. Last night after a long day in the sun, I chomped on like 5 French fries throughout the day…

Eating to end World Hunger
While looking for a restaurant online, I came across this side column on the Eatout.co.za site. As an veteran restaurant reviewer, I use my blog as my platofrm and the site Zomato.
