One Liner - Nice on 4th

On Liner - Stanley Beer Yard

Touched base with Donovan at Stanley Beer Yard, for a beer (yes you guessed it) and a chat. This is his take on Stanley Beer Hall.

"A warm, cosy joint with delicious, ice cold craft beer and an abundance of young hipsters in undersized jeans and vintage glasses. This is their Meccah"

It must be nice having a beer with your name on it!

One Liner - Daleah's

I met Donovan for a lunch meeting at Daleah's in Braamfontein (see my thoughts here) a couple of weeks ago and these were his thoughts on Daleah's

"Simple delicious food, really great space and a name that sounds like a coloured girl!" Drops mic!

One Liner - District Six Eatery

You been to District 6 in Emmarentia?

"It's very quaint but soulful place, simple and small. I like it. Classic Cape Malay food that tastes like your moms made it. Hearty and delicious... They have a tripe curry here that takes me back home to Mthatha. MOER."

This was Donovan's two cents (yes I literally copied & pasted our convo) on District Six Eatery as he was bout to smash a carrot, pea, potato and beef stew in his face.

Introducing the "One Liner" Donovan Goliath

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
