  Ultimate Sydney

  Sunday, August 02, 2009

  This swish Sydney secret is ambient, cosy and sexy. Hidden down in wharf-land on Hickson Road amid exposed brick walls, Yorkshire chef Adam Humphrey injects northern-English humour into his cooking with quirky British touches. There’s an amazing gourmet gammon, egg and chips with tomato ketchup sorbet – delicious. Black on Rack involves tasty lamb noisettes and black pudding. Truly gorgeous all-vegetarian options include the Raw and the Cooked: a light and beautiful crispy salad with creamed vegetables. All this, washed down with superb world wines. Our tip: put yourself in the hands of expert wine matcher Alon. He knows best! Book now. We love it!

Besides, Humphrey, a Yorkshire lad, has been leading me on for quite some time in a very drawn-out affair. He announced plans for Arras, his first solo venture, almost three years ago.
