I too think the photos (and video) are a great addition to the “words of wisdom”. You know what I’d like to hear more of - your own adventures in the kitchen. If you ever get a chance to eat at home? I have read a few Herald articles where you mention trying to recreate some of dishes you sampled on your restaurant reviews. It would be great to discover your successes/failures in this endeavour.
What a great discovery. Every time I visit Auckland, I try to explore somewhere I've never been, and heading to a recommended restaurant is as good an excuse as any. However, it seems I haven't ranged far enough.
You're having fun with the photos, which are good. I like that the sign in #13 is reflected in the bowl in #5. I can imagine you framing that one up.
I would be prepared to make the trip from Central Auckland to Onehunga Mall just to check out Everybody Eats — 'Where communities come together around good food.' It reminds me of a social enterprise restaurant in Caversham, here in Dunedin — The Bowling Club (https://thebowlingclub.co.nz).
Eating out is a good way to connect with our communities. Restaurants are crucial 'third places.' Ray Oldenburg suggested that home is our 'first place,' work is our 'second place,' and 'third places' are where we go to socialise, build community, and, in the case of eating establishments, enjoy a good meal.
That looks great. I am wondering if it's possible to get there easily by PT? Or bike? Says she from Waiheke Island. By the way I run a Rescue food cafe here on Waiheke on Fridays (and would be happy to show you our food foraging map on Waiheke) and would be happy to send you towards my favourite food spots on a Saturday.

Onehunga is definitely not South Auckland! Otahuhu is the dividing line IMO. Mr Ts is great, and I'm taking note of those other places to try.
