In the beginning....

With my job I sometimes get to spend my time in hotels and on planes and eating alone in restaurants - and to enjoy the perks of that I choose to eat in style. Sure I could live on McDonald's but why would you do so when visiting cities like Sydney with such fantastic and varied cuisines? Hell no. For years I have been torturing my friends with pictures on Facebook of the food I've been enjoying. Many have suggested I write a blog. Some have said they are sick of the pictures. So here is my outlet for both - my love of amazing food and the joy of posting pictures of it. From here I will also review the restaurants I've been to and (hopefully) enjoyed!

The title of the blog comes from a confusing conversation between a friend of mine and his wife. Said friend and I had been referring to the opportunity for me to travel to Sydney for a "junket" with this meaning: "a trip, as by an official or legislative committee, paid out of public funds and ostensibly to obtain information". When revealing to his wife that I was coming to Sydney for a "junket" she thought this meaning: "a sweet, custardlike food of flavored milk curdled with rennet" and couldn't work out why I was travelling over 1000kms for a dessert.

And so the name has stuck.
