I BOUGHT MY FIRST BIALETTI MOKA EXPRESS
20 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m quite pleased with myself. I popped into Carlucci’s yesterday to get a Chunky Chicken Salad and I spotted their range of stovetop espresso makers, as I do every time (always two words, it is never “everytime”). I bit my lip as I grabbed the small Bialetti Moka Express one-man unit from the shelf and […]

ARE THESE EVEN LEGAL?
15 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m incredibly amazed that there are still people out there that are unaware of the availability of these heavenly, ultra luxurious, evil, yet sexual treats. In Cape Town. In GREEN POINT, no less. You do know about Miss K, right? You don’t? [Muffled snigger – Holding fist to tight lipped mouth, eyes wide open, staring […]

CARLUCCI’S CHUNKY CHICKEN SALAD
12 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Not to be mistaken for the Funky Chicken which is, in fact, a dance. The Chunky Chicken Salad can be found at Carlucci’s, on Victoria Road, Bantry Bay. “Oh, ja, just opposite The Ambassador Hotel?” Yup, that’s the one.  The Chunky Chicken Salad – available exclusively at Carlucci’s  I tell you what, it’s […]

FUJITSU SCANSNAP S300 AVAILABLE IN SOUTH AFRICA
08 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Well, I had seen this little puppy in a few of the overseas mags I get every month (which include Vanity Fair, US GQ, Conde Nast Portfolio, New York Magazine, Monocle and Wired) and every time I saw the ad I grew more and more aware of how badly I needed to own the Fujitsu […]

MOMBASA CAFE DOES NOT HAVE TABASCO
10 Mar 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m spending a bit of time in Claremont today – getting back to my roots and all that. I dropped off my car at Hannibal’s car wash and sauntered into Cavendish Square to find a little spot to write you something titillating; something completely different to what I am writing about now. I wandered around, […]

MISS K FOOD CAFE – GREEN POINT
12 Feb 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You may have noticed that new block to the right of the Vida e block on Somerset Road, Green Point. You may not have noticed our new favourite eatery called “Miss K – Food Cafe” that sprung up out of nowhere. I popped in the other day. miss k People who go there get laid […]

CAMPS BAY VIDA E CAFFE OPENS
12 Nov 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I surveyed Camps Bay from The Safe House, caned a joint, hopped on Libby (my scooter) and took a cruise to The Strip to scope out the skirt. You’d be a fool not to on a day like today. I liked what I saw. I parked the beast and made a couple calls on the […]

ALL’S WELLNESS THAT ENDS WELLNESS
27 Sep 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of the rules that I constantly try and enforce on myself is not to stock up on junk food. If I have the need for chocolate or biltong or sweets of any sort, I am forced to go to the shops and get it. I can’t keep a stock of sweets and only tickle […]

OPIUM ON THE BEACH – SHAME
13 Aug 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So Thursday was a holiday and nothing had been planned for Wednesday night. I was meant to be sick so didn’t want to drink a lot of alcohol (I have a weird recollection of a Doctor, somewhere, telling me that “a little bit of alcohol is actually quite good for you”). I had given G-man […]

OH, SO THIS IS WADDA BAR?!
02 Jul 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Driver fetched The Kitesurfer and me (it’s not The Kitesurfer and “I” in this case, Mum) from the Fresnaye Heights dinner party on Friday night at about 23h30 and was given a fresh instruction, “Wadda Bar please, driver. That’s in Claremont. And let’s get some AC/DC cranking, otherwise these 13 Harman/Kardon surround sound speakers […]

FINDING THE MARKET RATHER BULLISH
19 Mar 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I must just warn you that I am writing this after annihilating two joints and half a bottle of Whiskey. (For those who wish to increase their knowledge : whisky from Scotland has no ‘e’, but whiskey from Ireland has an ‘e’. Jamesons, therefore, is spelt WHISKEY). Ja, you know – you learn something new […]

RIBOVILLE RESTAURANT
18 Jan 2007 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I don’t know why, but I have a tendency to NOT get excited about incredible things that are apparently going to happen, until they do. Invariably they fade into oblivion. A good friend of mine, Tom K, an architect (we’ll call him The Architect), has been telling me about a restaurant that he and his […]

SPEND MORE TIME AT CAFE ROUX
11 Sep 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I had heard that some friends of mine had opened a new restaurant in Noordhoek and was waiting for the big call, inviting me for a taste. Weeks went by and I heard excited reports from other friends saying what a great time they had at “Cafe Roux”. From the reports, it sounded like the […]

FULL BREAKFAST FOR R7 – EVERY MORNING
31 Jul 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Look, they HAVE hiked the price up to R7 from their initial launch price a number of months ago of R6. We won’t have a go at them for that. You’re still able to use car guard money in your ashtray to pay for 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast, 2 strips of bacon, 2 […]

LA CUCCINO – NO RELATION TO AL PACINO
03 Jul 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I know, I’ve been quite distant lately. But it’s nothing to do with you – don’t blame yourself. I think I know what has caused it. You see, a week or so ago I popped into Harley’s liquor on Buitengracht Street (defiantly open on Sundays) to top up on the stock of Jamesons at the […]

CAPRICE CAPRICE
26 May 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s true that I frequent Caprice in Camps Bay more than the average person. Circumstances have allowed Caprice to be the nearest cocktail bar / restaurant to my place of residence. You see, God has blessed me – and I will shamelessly punt Caprice until I can punt no more. This is not the first […]

IT’S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY
15 May 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Sunday was a fun day. Sunday was also Mother’s Day. With my parents living abroad there is a distinct lack of friends on these family related days. I did the usual and called up a few bastard child friends who also have parents living far away. G-man accepted the invite and we headed off to […]

BAD MANNA’S
05 Jan 2006 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Manna (Epicure) Restaurant on Kloof Street was the venue for our New Year’s day headache. I had been to the establishment before, but only for half an hour. I looked forward to my next visit and was glad that the time had finally arrived. After an extravagant lavish New Year’s night, I really wanted to […]

BAYSIDE CAFE – CAMPS BAY
25 Nov 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m surprised I haven’t really said anything about Camps Bay’s Bayside Cafe before, but I’ve just never really thought of it. I go there a lot and I suppose the regularity of it didn’t necessitate a mention; so I never did. (Seriously, you have to admit, I am CLEANING UP semi-colons lately). But I went […]

NEWS CAFE IN GREEN POINT TRAINING VOL1
15 Aug 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
There was always something that bothered me about News Cafe in Green Point but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. It was suggested by a friend as a potential breakfast spot for Sunday morning. I asked if it was cozy enough. Apparently it was. What joy on arrival to find that it was, […]

VEGAS ROOM – THIS IS IT
13 Jun 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I don’t mean to cuss, but I just came back from a fucking evening of note! Some good guys have opened a new club called Vegas Room. Oh, ok, I see what you’ve done. It’s like VEGAS. Ohhhh, VEEEGAS. Crazy mental! Is that what you want from us? Do you want us to go crazy? […]

THE TUESDAY NIGHT RIDDLE IS SOLVED
25 May 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of my social co-ordinators informed me of something that should be investigated. Apparently ‘Po na na’ (my choice of pre-going-out-drinks venues (along with Osaka (Dharma’s boy))) had launched a vibe for Tuesday nights involving the screening of a movie. I went along with the plan. We scurried along on Tuesday night and, upon arrival, […]

HEMMERS
16 May 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Once you’ve dealt with Morpheus the bouncer at the foyer entrance, you get the feeling that you’re on your way to an illegal poker room. It feels like some sort of an opening scene of a Steven Segal movie. The silence of the high-speed elevator ride, girls giggling, guys shuffeling. Everyone staring at the changing […]

I THINK I KNOW A LITTLE BOY
25 Apr 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This is not a restaurant review so I won’t tell you that Yindees restaurant on Thursday night was very good, apart from the fact that the entire table left starving. I also won’t tell you that four stuffed calamari tubes just won’t cut it as a main course. What I will tell you is what […]

CODFATHER – CAMPS BAY RESTAURANT
19 Jan 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We had a pizza at Dizzy’s Jazz Cafe in Camps Bay the other night. Our table at Dizzy’s was outside, right next to the entrance to The Codfather. There was a constant stream of red-hot women strolling into the Codfather and because we hadn’t been there for a very long time we vowed to attend […]

NELSONS EYE RESTAURANT
03 Jan 2005 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Grabbed a steak at Nelson’s Eye restaurant in Gardens last night before Caprice. Nelson’s Eye is renowned to serve ‘Arguably the best steaks in Cape Town’ so we had to have a go. I arrived early, hoping to sort out a table for the boys before they all arrived. I walked into the restaurant. They’ve […]

COLCACCHIO PIZZERIA – CAPE TOWN
30 Nov 2004 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We received a tip off from one of you lot (our loyal, ever adoring 2oceanvibe readers) saying that the pizzeria at the very end of Bree Street was definitely something to check out at lunch times. The main reason to go was apparently the staff – ‘smoking hot’ we were told. Well we were in […]

BARAZA – CAMPS BAY
25 Nov 2004 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
We hit Baraza in Camps Bay (next to Blues) for a toot before we went to Eclipse last week Thursday. There were these two youngsters spicing some tunes with a keyboard, flute and all other sorts of paraphernalia. Even machines with ‘Roland’ emblazened on the side! Now listen to me. These kids were HOT! Hard […]

MUGG AND BEAN – WATERFRONT
22 Nov 2004 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I will not get myself too worked up about this one because a person of such little importance doesn’t deserve more than a couple of words. A friend of mine and I made the fatal error of doing a spot of shopping at the V&A Waterfront on Saturday morning at 9am. GOOD GOD Please promise […]

GO TO DURBANVILLE VACCA MATTA
16 Nov 2004 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We had an early Thursday night so that we were ready for Friday night in the Northern Suburbs. My team mate and I packed our passports the night before and spent the whole of Friday going through the game plan. Oozing sex, we cruised into Cubana. Obviously they had another 7/8 foot bouncer who must […]
