We’ve got Football Fever.

A serious case of it.

The Rugby World Cup is just around the corner and after the Wallabies redeemed themselves with a convincing win over South Africa’s Springboks over the weekend we’re feeling confident (Hush now! These B-team utterances about the ‘Boks need not be brought up here!).

It’s not long before we’ll be donning the green and gold jerseys and heading to Sydney International Airport with a ticket to New Zealand in hand and when we get there we’ll be stopping off at the Danks Street Depot cafe (which is just before security at T1) to let it be known to Jared Ingersoll that Australia is the greatest rugby playing nation on earth…contrary to what he claims in this little video!!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie….Oi, Oi, Oi!

Everyone has a their favourite snack to nosh on when sipping on a beer. In South Africa it’s Biltong, in Sweden it’s meatballs and at Sydney International Airport it seems that it’s nuts…’Very Good Nuts’! What do you like to nosh on when you sink a few?

Spiced and scented nuts are one of the latest culinary crazes and we recommend that next time you are at Sydney International Airport stop in and try them out for yourself. Even better, check in on Foursquare and enjoy a delicious bowl with any beer purchase.

Travel better!

Egg-ceptional Travel…

Ok, I’m putting it out there…I think dinner and lunch are overrated. In my personal opinion breakfast is, hands down, the greatest meal of the day. Those people that claim they never eat breakfast or they aren’t hungry in the mornings furrow my brow. These poor misguided people really don’t know what they are missing out on. Breakfast truly is where it is at. What other meal allows you to start with a sweet buttery goodness of a croissant or flaky Danish, then progress to warm slow food and finish with fruit and not be given the guilty look that accompanies dessert indulgence.

You might think this a big call and perhaps it is an outlandish statement but I’m confident making this claim because Jared Ingersoll, sustainable foodie extraordinare of Danks Street Depot  is with me. He’s so crazy about breakfast that he has put it on the menu all day long.

All. Day. Breakfast. These three words together make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

So for all those folks who don’t get around to eating until lunch time you are in luck, you can get the greatest eggs going at lunch. For those who get cravings for eggs at dinner-time, don’t feel awkward or embarrassed about it, Jared knows where you are coming from and had got you covered.

At Dank Street Depot at Sydney International Airport the eggs are not just good - they’re exceptional. In their natural and organic state they resemble smooth cool pebbles with hues of earth tones that are appealing to the eye but even more seductive on the plate. 

He uses Cornucopia Farms fresh bio-dynamic eggs sourced locally in the Hunter Valley that deliver an amazing flavor experience - just as nature intended. At Danks Street Depot you can enjoy eggs poached, creamed (scrambled eggs taken to a whole new sensational level), eggs and hash and so much more.

Travel Better!

Ever been headed through Sydney International Airport, cleared customs and security and wondered exactly where to grab a seat, recharge your phone and do some pre-flight Facebooking with a decent coffee or glass of wine. Look no further.

(And for those of you who actually do come and say Hello, if you mutter the words “Freshonthego” to the staff, you will get rewarded, handsomely.
