20 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
Checkers have made well-known South African socialite, fashion designer and aspiring chef (that’s kok in Afrikaans, I’ll have you know), Nataniel their go-to guy for meat-product advertisment. As you can see, they like to push it pretty hard.

Camps Bay Friendly Store Redeems Itself
13 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
When I mentioned to the Friendly store owner last weekend that they should look into stocking the Robertsons Salt & Vinegar seasoning (I use it on popcorn – like at the movies), I didn’t expect it to appear on the shelves so soon. One week later, BANG, there it was. Nice job, Friendly store.

Stodels Selling Ass Succulents
03 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With the Ass Flavour and Ass Food explosion experienced over the past year or so, it was only a matter of time before people would want to grow some ass at home. It would be dangerous to use your own ass to create different foods and drinks, so a big round of applause goes to Stodels nurseries who have stepped up to the plate.

Ciabatta Roll With Ass Fillings
29 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I must say, had I known they were serving ass fillings, I would never have gone for the cheese. Get yours now, at the Spar in Observatory. So innovative. So 2010.

Nando’s Punishes Cell C With 5G Chicken
27 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Nando’s have taken things to the next level this time, with the appointment of their new “CEO.” His name is Kagiso and the whole ad rips off every ounce of the Trevor Noah Cell C ads. They mention 5G (rather than Cell C’s claimed 4G) and they even play with the Cell C ‘logo’ at the end. Full marks!

Wine-Tasting Robot Thinks Humans Taste Like Bacon; The End Is Nigh.
08 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Researchers at NEC System Technologies have designed robots with the ability to identify dozens of different wines, cheeses and appetizers, because that’s something we need robots for. Except they think people taste like bacon.

So The Internet Isn’t Public Domain, Apparently
05 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A blog post written by Monica Gaudio was copied entirely and published in a for-profit magazine, Cook’s Source, without permission or payment. On contacting the publication, Ms. Gaudio was informed that “the web is considered ‘public domain'” and that she should compensate Cook’s Source for editing her work. Things have not gone well for Cook’s Source since then.

Sea Point Spar Selling The Ass Of A Muffin
01 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was not aware that muffin’s had an ass, let alone a tail, or any other body part for that matter. Sure, humans do get ‘muffin top’ when their jeans are too tight, but I had never imagined it the other way around. Nonetheless, the Spar on Regent Road, Sea Point seem to be ahead of all of us and are now selling just the ass part of a muffin. Amazing!

I Was Lovin It

Is it McDonald’s fault that more than 63 percent of Americans are overweight or obese, making them the fattest nation in the history of the world? Check out this advert that might get them thinking.

1800 EighteenHundred Introduces New Summer Menu
12 Oct 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My fellow 1800 fans will be pleased to hear that they have launched their new Summer Menu! And they’re doing it properly too, with a ridiculous new R169 Summer Menu Promotion. Unbelievably, that includes a glass of sparkling, starter, 200g rump (or sirloin of rib-eye) + signature sauce, dessert and underground parking at my residence, The Cape Royale Hotel!

Can I Get The Gnocchi And A Red Vespa To Go Please!
12 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The more trendy of our London ex-pats will know of Carluccio’s Caffès – a great place to meet over a drink and simple well-prepared Italian food, made on the premises. Although one extra thing seems to have been added to their New Bond Street Carluccio’s menu – something that certainly is Italian and hand-made, but not right there on the premises!

Yes, Advertising To Kids Is Important
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Marmite, Mrs Balls Chutney, Iron Brew, and Tropica. These are the flavours of my childhood, and every now and then, a craving hits, and the inevitable binge ensues. I know, I disgust myself. Happily, I’ve been vindicated by science. Get a child hooked on your product in their formative years, and you’ve got them for life.

UNIQUELY AUSTRALIAN BRITISH BOEREWORS
06 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Wow, and there I was thinking we were confused! With our London taxis on the roads and people singing Ole Ole at the sports stadiums, we certainly are a melting pot of cultures and have become professionals at ‘borrowing’ foreign nation’s ideas, pastimes and even sayings. Not that there is anything wrong with that – […]

2OCEANSVIBE PARTNER “NOMU” UP FOR 567 CAPE TALK SMALL BUSINESS AWARD
02 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Big John interviewed Paul Raphaely from NoMU yesterday on 567 Cape Talk Radio, as they discussed NoMU’s nomination in the 567 Cape Talk Small Business awards! While that’s all very cool! And I think even more cool is the fact that Paul revealed how exactly NoMU got its name! Very funny story! I managed […]

BEWARE THE FURY OF A MCFLUNKY
11 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Especially when they can’t get their daily McFix. I love McDonalds for one reason, and one reason only – the name is brilliant for McPuns (right, enough of that). But millions of people the world over express a deep and burning desire to consume their preferred McDonalds product each and every day, as the need […]

NANDOS CANADA BRAND POSITIONING – QUITE CLOSE TO THE BUTTOCKS
10 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
Let me blow your mind: Nandos is in Canada. And no, Brandon Huntley didn’t franchise it. Shocking news, ey? I mean, Nandos must surely be as quintessentially South African as KFC, what with it’s Portuguese name, recipes and store decor. Nevertheless, the great chicken company in the sky is downright universal, making an appearance across […]

Some of our parliamentary readers will be aware that yesterday the South African parliament was the scene of a death for the the first time since the the 1966 assassination of one Hendrik Verwoerd, esq.

GORDON EFFING RAMSAY IS GETTING EFFING LITIGATED
05 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out […]

GORDON RAMSAY’S EFFING RESTAUARANT, MAZE, SHUTS THE EFF DOWN IN CAPE TOWN
02 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 10 Comments
When Sol Kerzner enlisted the expertise of the man who is arguably the world’s most popular chef, Gordon Ramsay, he would have felt confident that the star food aspect of his monstrous V&A Waterfront hotel, the One and Only, was buttoned tight. Gordon Effin’ Ramsay opened the five star Maze restaurant at the hotel, but […]

THE 2OCEANSVIBE BREAKFAST

So after an evening of sushi, springbok bruschetta, Belinni coctails, bubbly, and of course, Butlers Pizza (*COUGH* 2oceansvibe Radio launch COUGH*), there’s only one thing you eat for breakfast. And it’s not a bottle of Boschendal!

CEVICHE A LA JOHANNESBURG
22 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
If you have a taste for sushi and other good food, and you haven’t tried ceviche, you simply must. Ceviche, for those of you who are uninformed, is a dish of unknown hispanic origin comprised of thinly sliced raw white fish, which is subsequently “cooked” in a thin bath of lemon juice, or a similar […]

SPOTTED AT THE GRAND ON THE BEACH
22 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Just cruising over the sand in funny shoes. It’s one thing taking off your helmets (ta) but, let’s face it, that doesn’t make it ok.. Not ideal – taking your overseas guests for a lunch and exposing them to a pair of balls on a sunny weekend. Or your kids – let’s not forget about […]

IT’S BACK BABY! THE CAPRICE 2 FOR 1 BURGER SPECIAL!

For those of you new to the concept – let me first fill you in on the Dreamy Burger. This following excerpt was taken from last year’s burger special announcement: I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab […]

ASS PRODUCTS – IT’S BEEN A WHILE
13 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just because I haven’t mentioned them for a while doesn’t mean that the “ass flavoured foods” rage hasn’t been growing. Those of you unfamiliar with the flavour du jour which has swept the country may well want to start here to get a grip of what is actually going on. It is interesting to note […]

WIMPY LAUNCH HILARIOUS ONLINE GAME AND COMPETITION
08 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
If there ever was a brand that has always been around the block, it’s Wimpy. Waves of nostalgia and memories of road-trips to Plett enter my mind, with me servicing my dad a fresh cold beer every couple of hours and a glass (real glass – plastic gives her Ladyship moth ulcers) of wine (with […]

iPAD A LA CARTE
06 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]
