“The Mucho team is taking you along its Tequila Trail next week.”

“Monday to Sunday, this is where and what our editor’s eating – think lunchtime burek at Bills, an icon returning to The Old Fitz, dinner in a Creole tavern and PS40’s ripper cocktails in Petersham.”

“Two of Sydney’s top bars. Two happy hours. Right next door.”

“Get your tickets to The World’s Dirtiest Martini Bar, a Melbourne pasta institution’s one-night stop-in, New York’s Chinese Tuxedo, a Tabasco-fuelled pub night, the “lost dishes” of Thailand and a Freda’s pizza party – with more to come.”
