The good news thread

[Slowbee]

My foodie business partner, who is married to a chef, couldn't stop talking about this today. Said it's like one of us mid field Argus riders winning the Tour De France!

You mean EPO and a Ferrari were involved?

PARIS - A tiny beach restaurant in an isolated South African fishing village was named the best in the world on Monday.

Chef Kobus van der Merwe, who did not begin to cook seriously until he was 30, forages every day for ingredients on the wild Atlantic shore of the Western Cape near his Wolfgat restaurant, where he also makes his own bread and butter

best in his category which is outlying, off-the-beaten-track restaurants.

 

EDIT: my apologies. The site indicates I am wrong and you are correct. What I referred to was an additional category.

Sometimes I think I dehumanize homeless people, maybe it helps me drive past them every day, on every damn corner. Its nice to be reminded they are still us, most of whom just had an unlucky turn. And even better to see some still maintain some sort of dignity, regardless of what this life has thrown at them.
