Park Hyatt Chardonnay Dinner – The Rocks, Sydney

I may not be as eloquently spoken as some other foodbloggers, be as photographically adept as others or just be plain awesome as others but as a foodblogger, my blog is my refuge, my sanctuary, my place of thoughts and way of sharing my passion. So when pretentious people prejudice us and casually flaunt their discourteous manner about our pride and joy in front of us, it hurts.

I have chosen the perfect place for my manly brother heh heh heh.” With the help of the lovely Steph, we ended up at the Surry Hills restaurant of the Gazebo restaurants to celebrate my brothers birthday.
