I fondly recall post-work visits to a funky little Italian place in Surry Hills for gnocchi gorgonzola; amazing meals on wine holidays in South Australia, including scallops in butter and soy at Bridgewater Mill and octopus hotpot at Stephanie Alexander's lakeside restaurant in the Barossa Valley; and a glorious lunch beside the river during Fins infancy, marvelling over
the Portuguese seafood stew.
