Epicure recently put out a call to readers to submit a two hundred word review of a Melbourne dining experience. So I did, and I got in! Woo hoo! You can view a larger image of my review here.
The Elegant Gourmand (whom I am so very lucky to be dating) also had a review published. If you look in the paper, well he’s the one on top
You can view a larger image of his review here.









I read those today! Congrats you must be over the moon!
Congrats Mellie!
Your blog is making me hungry.
Hi there Haalo! Over the moon is an understatement. Over the universe is more like it
Thanks for the congrats Sussan. I know…food blogging is definitely a hazard!
congrats on the reviews! it’s so weird to say this but on reading the article on epicure (which i do so religiously!) i couldn’t help but think that the reviews particularly of the korean place had a familiar tone to them, much like your reviews on your blog. who knew!? john lethlean can stay away as long as he likes, i reckon!
Congratulations – both! Great reviews.
Seems food writers are either being kicked out of restaurants or supplanted by bloggers!
Thanks serenity later – uh huh, you have a great memory. I’ve been to A Taste of Korchi a few times (…it is really really good!), and so just rejigged my existing review.
Thank-you kitchen hand! Yes, there has been much hullabaloo in the food writing world of late, huh?
Congratulations Mellie, and thank you for including my review on your website
I think it’s a fantastic achievement and honour to be published in The Age. We should both be very proud of our efforts!!
I read this yesterday and was thinking, HEY, I KNOW that chick, and I READ THAT review first (on this very blog)! I was wondering what you and ol’ EG had goin’ on, seems like he figured a lot in your postings of late.
Congrats on both fronts.
Congrats! – Leila
Congratulations. That’s so exciting, and a very well-written review too (so is EG’s of course!). It’s no surprise they were both published. Good on you both!
Hey elegantgourmand – damn, I think this is cause for celebration!
Hiya Emzeegee – thanks for your well wishes. Uh huh…it’s been a good (and busy!) few months of late. We need to catch up and debrief over a real bloody croissant. Will email
Hey anon Leila – thanks for the congrats!
G’day Helen – thank you very much
I must admit to having a good chuckle when I found out we were both being published at the same time. How coincidental!
