The Lamb Shop
NOTE: Peter Gloftis now co-owns The Lamb Shop, Brisbane with Stephen AKA ‘Cappa’, the owner of The Lamb Shop Broadbeach. “Fast food done well,” The Lamb Shop’s former owner Peter Gloftis had told us when we first visited.

Misono Japanese Steakhouse
We’re having one of those D & M (deep and meaningful) discussions about why people keep coming back to their favourite restaurant –a signature dish, great service, comfort, price and proximity… “It’s not just about the food, of course, it’s about the show,” the Main Squeeze puts in his two cents worth. He means the […]
Mike’s Kitchen
There’s only one reason for us to dine at Mike’s Kitchen: The Slaughterhouse Fifteen! Ribs, that is… To be more specific, 15 huge BBQ Pork Ribs smothered in Mike’s special basting sauce.
