What a review!

My very dear and old friend Jo in Sydney sent me the link for this great review of Two Rooms, the newly changed and reopened restaurant of Jo’s long-time partner Wade Brown.

A well respected Sydney reviewer calls Two Rooms ‘the son of Balzac’ and, typical of family, the child reflects the parents’ heritage but also has a rather independent streak, nursed by Wade Brown, the brilliant young chef running the burners. Let me say up front: the food is fantastic! It’s great-value-for-money bistro/comfort food and it’s food I want to eat (preferably every day).
Wade has always been a brilliant chef. Making everything from delicious scramble eggs in the basement flat in Camden he and Jo lived in during their London years to marvellous racks of lamb and risotto at the Charlotte St restaurant he worked at. So I’m not very surprised that he got this kind of review. He has always been a wonder boy in the kitchen and now by 29 he runs his own business. Way to go Mango Man!!!
