The first time I had ever heard of or gone to a Hussar Grill was in Camps Bay. This was on the 1st of January after attending a Goldfish concert the previous night.

The sign says; ‘The … Continue reading The Fat Zebra

Finally, with no other interruptions, we get to go to Capito tonight. They used to be Capeesh in Brooklyn, Pretoria. And about 5 years ago they decided to move to The Club in Hazelwood.

Once again, the Influencer has a Thursday afternoon job at Sandton City. This time it is at Poetry and unfortunately no plus one. No problem, I must catch up on some clothes shopping.
