SETH’S PRIMARY RESIDENCE, THE CAPE ROYALE HOTEL, GETS TRIPADVISOR “BEST LUXURY HOTEL IN AFRICA” AWARD
18 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]

17 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Really? Well suck me sideways! I gotta be honest, it doesn’t get much easier to find deals around Cape Town. My boys at www.nobucks.co.za have absolutely NAILED IT with their website which documents where and when various booze and food specials are going on around Cape Town.

MY TWO HOURS IN A JAIL CELL
16 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Jeez, what a vibe! About 250 of you caught the two hour live video streaming broadcast we did from the wooden jail cell at the V&A Waterfront, in which Bob is serving a self-imposed jail sentence. Why is he doing it, you ask? Good question, Aguado… Basically, Bob is involved in a fundraiser for his […]

“ASS JUICES” NOW FREELY AVAILABLE
15 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Ass flavoured foods have come a long way and it seems like just yesterday that we tried our first ass flavoured rolls from Spar and, lest we forget, the delicious quiche ass from Woolworths! Mmmm! Things moved pretty quickly for the new flavour which, in hindsight, is a no brainer! I mean obviously ass flavoured […]

The Advertising Guy lives in Los Angeles and he has a buddy over there in the States, Greg Szmurlo, who has made a website to do with his three favourite things – Tom Selleck, Waterfalls and Sandwiches. It’s called Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. And when I say it is “to do” with those three things, I […]

BAKERS BISCUITS ENTERS THE ADULT SEX FOODS MARKET
04 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
Bakers Biscuits, a South African favourite who have provided non-risque snacks and food products since 1851, are tweaking their previously conservative brand strategy and are diversifying into the more provocative adult foods market. In a surprise move, Bakers have launched a new sexually suggestive line of snacks which allude to male genitalia. With new ranges […]

WIMPY – OLD SCHOOL
20 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
The biggest burger cost you R3.15 in 1983. But enjoy this, 11 years earlier it cost 40c! Or try a three-egg omelette for 60c – gimmie a break! Take a trip down memory lane and recall your road-trips with the family – when you used to go “up-country” to visit your relatives. Wimpy was part […]

ASS FLAVOURED FOODS HIT KNYSNA!
11 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
The cult movement in support of ass flavoured products seems to be escalating as the essence of ass is being used in foods as far afield as Knysna! It’s obviously moving up the coast, as it wasn’t a few months ago someone spotted ass flavoured cup cakes in Hermanus. Unlike the ass flavoured products featured […]

MUSSELS AT OLYMPIA CAFE – KALK BAY, CAPE TOWN
06 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 14 Comments
Any Capetonian worth their salt should know about Olympia Café in Kalk Bay – where a complete disregard for decor is met head on with possibly the most incredible food you will ever experience. And the staff believe it too, as we (The Muse and I) arrived at the front door last weekend, just in […]

SETH TURNS WINE PAIRING WORLD “ON IT’S HEAD”
04 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I put “on it’s head” in inverted commas to indicate a quote, presumably by someone with authority. Given the topic of wine pairing, one would hope, at the very least, that the quote came from someone within the food or wine industry. In truth… it didn’t – I made it up. Yup, that’s right. Much […]

SETH RUNS THE TWO OCEANS “MARATHON”
11 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]

So we had that whole 2010 World Cup Draw vibe, hey? Wow – very cool vibe! Why did 2oceansvibe Character “The Barndog“ have to be one of the main okes on the stage and involved with the picking of the balls? I’ll tell you why – because it’s like that, and that’s the way it […]

PICK N PAY SELLING ASS FLAVOURED HOT DRINKS
27 Nov 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
It’s no surprise that the ass flavoured food craze has entered the beverage market, what with the success of the likes of Spar’s ass rolls and Woolworths’s quiche ass. Although, to be honest, I didn’t imagine the rare niche flavour to enter the highly competitive HOT beverage market! Going head to head with coffee it […]

ASS CUPS HIT HERMANUS
23 Nov 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
We’ve covered the phenomenon of “ASS” flavoured foods on 2oceansvibe for quite some time ( see Spar’s ass rolls here, Pick n Pay’s parmalat ass here, Woolworths quiche ass here). I’m pleased to say that the acquired taste of ass in foods is spreading up the coast, having now hit the Spar in Hermanus. Excellent! […]

MOMBASA CAFE CAVENDISH SQUARE BITES BACK
04 Nov 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 64 Comments
I wrote an article over a year ago about my experience at Mombasa Cafe , Cavendish Square, Claremont, Cape Town. I was moaning about the convenient joys of them being constantly empty, as well as the fact tat they did not serve Tabasco sauce (a big “no-no” as we know). Mombasa Cafe – Cavendish Square […]

Heidi Klum Dipped in Chocolate [Bum pic: here] Heidi Klum Dipped In Chocolate – Not the WORST thing I can think of. Heidi Klum made chocolate a whole different kind of sexy, if these pictures from the just-released coffee table book Heidilicious by the photographer Rankin, are anything to go by. The supermodel took a […]

GOOD MORNING HEADLINES
12 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Hello, Dugsie One Good Pig Deserves Another – We published a headline on Friday, about these “Mircro Pigs.” The above photo was considered as the main photograph for that morning’s headlines, but a pic for the World Cup stadiums headline was used instead. I was worried you might have missed it, so here it is […]

PORTOFINO RESTAURANT ATTACKS CUSTOMER
10 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 141 Comments
Portofino Restaurant opened one month ago in Cape Town. It’s where The Showroom used to be – next to Bloomsbury Luxury Cars and Harbour Edge. Maybe that is why they used the same font as Porsche cars in their logo. I recall a launch of sorts (less than a month ago), with much fanfare and […]

THIS MUSTARD WILL BLOW YOUR MIND

Mother Dearest bought it when she was in town recently and now it is in the Safe House. I don’t know where you get it from, but trust me, if you see it – buy it. France’s favourite mustard brand (from what I recall) have taken things to the next level with this bad boy. […]

PAP & WORS VALUE SAUSAGES – YOU HAVE NEVER!
06 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 9 Comments
This basically “hit the net” today. I’ve received it no less than 30 times. Never before has there been so much fuss over a sausage in South Africa. I thought I would “nip it in the bud” (mine) and give it to you right here, right now; so that I don’t have to endure these […]

DESKTOP CLEANUP
06 Oct 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It’s that time of the month again. The time I wade through the GARBAGE that you send me and select some true genius pieces of rubbish and publish them here for all to see. Then I can wipe it all off my desktop and start anew. We’ll kick off with this one, which I think […]

NANDOS RAMADAN COMMERCIAL
11 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just to fill you in, Ramadan is the ninth month of the year in the Islamic calendar. Let’s expend on that… [clears throat] It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and indulging in anything that is in excess or ill-natured; from dawn until sunset.

SA VICE PRESIDENT HAS BRAAI NEXT TO LANDING STRIP
08 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Our traditional media sometimes misses the 2oceansvibe part of the story they’re publishing. Take for example this latest article which comes from News24 (Beeld). The headline was “Arrest after Motlanthe mishap” (here) and details something to do with a bad weather judgment by some air traffic controller, which led to South African Deputy President Kgalema […]

CAPE TOWN ON THE CHEAP – LIVING THE HOLIDAY, BUDGET STYLIE
04 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
A handful of people send me links to this website called No Bucks, which is an “online portal of happy hours, specials and budget nights out in Cape Town.” I enjoyed the concept but didn’t know if it fitted “the vibe” correctly. But then I remembered that getting deals and paying less would take anyone […]

Here at 2oceansvibe we tread a fine line as we deliver images of the beautiful life, including beautiful places, beautiful brands, beautiful people and beautiful models .

OVER-AGE POLE DANCING AT CAFE ROUX
24 Aug 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]

HAVEN’T YOU HAD AN “IN-N-OUT” BURGER?
14 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 18 Comments
Unbelievably, I had never tried an IN-N-OUT burger before. I didn’t really care, but the constant disbelief became a bit too much. I just couldn’t take it. The people. Constantly telling me how amazing the burgers were. And then, when telling them I had never had one, they would just stand there, with their mouths […]
