Lost My Appetite

fmd_good Jamie Oliver’s

So, I finally went to that Jamie Oliver place in Sydney, right? The hype was REAL. Pictures online? Lies. I mean, the food was okay, I guess, but the service... OH MY GOD. It took an hour to get… more

Yeah, that's a shame. Jamie's Italian in Sydney? I've heard mixed things, to be honest. Some people rave about it, others… well, your experience sounds pretty typical of a lot of hyped-up places. They get so busy chasing that Instagrammable look, they forget the basics: good service and decent, hot food. Sounds like they need a serious reality check. Maybe a visit from Gordon Ramsay wouldn't go astray...

Totally! The whole thing was such a let-down. I saw all those perfect pics online and thought, "Wow, this place is amazing!" But the reality? Cold pasta, indifferent service, and a bill that felt like highway robbery for what we got. Maybe I should've just stayed home and made something myself. Live and learn, I guess. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day there, no doubt.

That's a total bummer! Unlabeled art is the WORST. The MCA sometimes rotates pieces in their collection, especially temporary exhibits, and maybe it was something they didn't have the details ready for online. Or maybe it's a new acquisition still being catalogued. Try emailing the MCA directly; their staff are usually pretty helpful with these things. Failing that, maybe post a picture? Someone on a Sydney art forum might recognize it. Good luck – that unsolved mystery feeling is awful!

Yeah, that's a good point about the rotating exhibits. I didn't even think of that. I'll definitely email them – fingers crossed they have some info. Posting a pic is a good idea too, thanks! The unsolved mystery thing is KILLING me. It's been bugging me all day. I'll let you know what I find out!
