What would a post be without a food review...

Now lets get to the important stuff, there are some two additional meals to shout about here in adelaide which it would be criminal for me not to let the world know about:

1. 3 Meat Outback Combo - RedBack Chargrill, Marion Shopping Centre, Food Court

This meal is pure heaven, admittedly faced with a dozen fast food outlets and a few random food outlets you never know what to choose. I picked this one as a bit of a wild card and it paid off!

The meal is $8.20 (3.28GBP) and consists of chargrilled chicken, pork, aussie steak and rice. The chicken and pork have a tasty barbeque flavour to them and the aussie steak is swimming in a delicious sauce. This is the kind of meal you would expect to find yourself eating when your drunk and raving about it the next day, only to find that when you try it sober it's awful. Only guess what you would try it and it would be just as delicious - Matt's wonderful world of food rating of 5/5!!!!

2. Organic Pizza - GoodLife Restaurant, Jetty Road, Glenelg

This was a restaurant Sel recommended having read that the english cricket team ate here and highlighted it as a bit of a hidden treasure (I'm still wondering if they poisened them with the way they performed though ;)). Apparantly the review said the place was nothing special to look at, but having climbed the two dozen steps to the upstairs restaurant we were greated with a wonderfully quaint and homely environment. The staff were pleasant and weren't the usual pretentious idiots you get in somewhere that claims to be organic ("Oh no sir our food is prepared by vessel virgins then marinated by the souls of 13 dead kings" - you get the picture).

Having been given a seat ouside on the veranda - we had a lovely view of glenelg highstreet and moseley square beyond. Granted the menu wasn't extensive but when people are trying to serve the best food it doesnt make it hard to choose, hmmm organic chicken, duck, shrimp - chicken it is! (The specials included a lamb curry pizza!lol) The pizza's came in two sizes 9" (for one) & 12" (for two) - worried that I would come across as glutonous I ordered a 9" with no starter and a side dish of veggies.

Waiter: "So you want a veggie pizza and a side order of veggies?"
Me: "You can never have enough veggies!"
Waiter: "I guess you're right"

Me.....So why did he bloody ask????? Noted: Only mistake of the evening!

The pizza and veggies were great! Tasty, fresh and had all the digestive enhancing ingredients you would expect of a large sunday lunch. The pizza alone would have been enough but with the veggies to share they really rammed us full lol!

With no further ado a Matt's wonderful world of food rating of 4/5
