Jo-Burgers Meat Up

#57

The Cape Town event was more efficient because I basically demanded it be held on a specific night, at Royale Eatery, because that’s when I was available and I was without a car.

We can do things like that for the Joburg meet too, if ya’ll want :stuck_out_tongue:

I can be there for the beginning of the shindig, but have to leave to attend an appointment I’ve already confirmed for 15:00 that day.

Centurion works for me, as I live here.

Collating some venue suggestions (and adding a few):

  • Burger Bistro, Jean Avenue
  • Bistro, in the huge Fleisherei supermarket / offices across Parmalat
  • Eugene’s Casa Portuguese & Pub across the road from Grey Owl (is that the one you were referring to @FarligOpptreden?)
  • Prue Leith’s Chef’s Academy Restaurant (this requires a reservation)
  • Hemingway’s at Leriba Lodge (reservation recommended to make sure they’re open)
  • Pizzaria Milan in Eldoraigne (my personal recommendation, but some distance away from the highway offramps)
  • The Godfather, Midstream Estate
  • Railways, Irene (this place is weird, but awesome — good shakes, good beer, good pizza)

Otherwise there are a few well-known franchised spots that are quite good. Karoo or Pizza e Vino in Irene Village. Rocomamas in Jean Crossing or Irene Village. Salsa at Jean Crossing.

ja i think we will need to do that @SIGSTART perhaps create a poll for the venue and then the venue with the most votes will be it?

Sounds like a plan to me. Shall we wait until tomorrow morning for folks to send in their nominations?

In fairness, I was enabled by @Wyvern who organised the whole thing after I said I wanted to meet up :stuck_out_tongue:

Not actually, no. The huge Fleisherei supermarket / offices across Parmalat have a very nice restaurant at the back called Bistro. If you haven’t ever been there, SHAME ON YOU. Their breakfasts and steaks are divine and they have what seems to be great burgers as well…

and how was the steak?

It was excellent but not worth the crazy price in my opinion. I mean if I was a billionaire then I’d eat it every day but for now it’s a once in a lifetime thing to try out.

Their Welsh Rarebit breakfast is incredible. Best poached eggs I’ve ever had. Wife also swears by their “biltong and mieliepap” breakfast.

I’ll have to do the next one. I can make any day except 1 December :stuck_out_tongue: .
If you’re going to Centurion I can recommend Burger Bistro as well though.

Far south, beyond Umbär, in a place called Midvaal.

I have to be at The Cradle around 15h00, but I saw now that it’s closer to Centurion than I thought. Might then actually work. The wife and terrorist will have to tag along though.

Anyone else dragging their SO’s along? Little ones?
