I happened to meet Donovan in the foodie circles at the Ultimate Braai Master Jozi semi final auditions, he like myself was part of the judging panel tasting the good, the bad and the ugly. I have subsequently discovered that we share a love for food & finding great restaurants particularly those that don't look like much at first glance. After putting me on to a seriously good food spot, I asked Donovan to write a feature on the blog when his busy schedule allows. He is fast becoming one of my favourites, my favourites tend to be Coloured comics that speak Xhosa and have an appreciation for serious eats.
The One Liner will feature Donovan's first thoughts on restaurants he's visited recently including a few of his favourites. In his own words this is Donovan
"I'm the white looking, Xhosa speaking Coloured guy from Mthatha. I'm a stand up comedian, art director, Cressida beaded seat cover designer and aspiring YOU magazine centerfold guy. I love all kinds of food not just meals made with Bisto."
A warm welcome to one of my favourites! Go ahead follow @DonovanGoliath on Twitter

Introducing the new Jozi Foodie Fix teamie Nishal
Jozi Foodie Fix has a new foodie joining the fold, Nishal Rattan a man of simple tastes easily satisfied with the best!
To his more orthodox contemporaries he is seen as as a semi-madman but then genius was always misunderstood. He loves to travel and to explore cultures and cuisines. He will probably say yes to anything exciting, exotic or beautiful. A fan of the urban jungle he would not say no to a weekend away in the bush but would be just as at home on a tropical beach with palm trees, waving to a waiter for his next G&T.
He is a man of the world though far from flawless Nishal is not without virtue, among them you will discover a rigorous intelligence, playful charm and a rather dangerous sensuality. The gift of tact, sensitivity and razor wit are given to very few and he is among the blessed. He is an accountant, historian, chef, critic, cunning linguist, novelist, and ceramic potter.
But to see him is to love him and love him most do. A warm welcome to Nishal, who will be guest blogging over the next couple of months.
