There’s nothing quite like a piece of fresh Kob or Geelbek served with a spicy Mexican salsa - corn, chilli, lime and coriander. Delish !

It is with a very heavy heart we share the news of the passing of Sylvester Dube. He was the last of Solly’s 3 Musketeers, and one of the 1st employees of Millers Thumb. After a long battle with illness, he returned to his ancestral home some time ago, to spend the last little while with his blood relatives. He leaves his wife, Patricia and young daughter Rosey. Thank you for the years, thank you for the lessons, and thank you for the memories. You will be sorely missed. Rest in peace ‘The Slyzer’ ♥️

One day … 😜

“I'm asked a lot what the best thing about cooking for a living is. And it's this: to be a part of a subculture. To be part of a historical continuum, a secret society with its own language and customs. To enjoy the instant gratification of making something good with one's hands—using all one's senses. It can be, at times, the purest and most unselfish way of giving pleasure...”

- Anthony Bourdain
