Brilliant company tonight for dinner. Ate at Thai Gardens with Food Kitty, Mr Bok and Gobbler. It was the first time Gobbler and Kitty had met in person and just for once, the food on the table in front of us became secondary to the conversation, which predictably was all about food!
I don't think a stone was left unturned regarding regional food, tourism, food, branding, food markets, restaurants, hospitality people, food exports, food blogging, entrepreneurial ideas for food-related businesses - you name it, we work-shopped it tonight, as long as it involved food!
Thanks to the three of you. It was great to be able to sit and talk all night about a subject that usually bores the pants off everyone else after 20 minutes!

Thanks for organizing it Rita. It was lovely to meet Mrs Bok & good to Mr Bok again. Sorry it was hard to get a word in though!
You're right about it being hard to get a word in edgeways - but it was SO worth it!
gobbler, dont really think you should refer to the Kitty as Mrs Bok!!!!!
good to hear you 3 had a good night - I was lazing on the couch watching shite American tv (America's Next Top Model).

It was a lovely idea and a lovely evening. Thank you Rita. Great to meet Gobbler and catch up with Rita.
We slagged off all bloggers not present of course, and generally put the world to rights!
Those going to Rita's Marque IV dinner are in for a good night I reckon.

PS after all the food chat last night, decided to go and visit Salt for lunch. Quite nice. Very good service, great calamari, OK lamb and steak sanga. But Christina is right about those bloody pepper grinders - I think they are actually taking the piss.......
FK - Glad you liked Salt, and more particularly, the calamari dish. I feel like eating it right now! And, yes, you're BOTH right about the bloody pepper grinders! Anyone these days who approaches me with the giant phallus is looking for trouble!
Eating, talking and enjoying. The very cornerstone of civilisation.
Sorry, should have said'Foodkitty', oopsie, how paternal-ista of me!
Cartouche - you're exactly right! That's gotta be my definition of civilisation as well.
Gobbler - you must try to be more macho!
