SBS Eating Guide to Sydney 15/6/05 9:51 AM Page vii Introduction Welcome to the newest edition of The SBS Eating Guide to Sydney.We know it’s been a while coming but we figure it’s worth the wait.With this book in your glove-box or shopping basket,you really can explore Sydney eating in all its amazing diversity.It proves once again that there is so much to be discovered and enjoyed in this increasingly food-mad city of ours. We’ve made a few changes (and improvements, we hope)—not least adding a map showing some of our key eating precincts,extra (and clearer) indexes for easier reference and an eclectically personal list of favourites. As always there are lots of people to thank for their enthusiasm and assis- tance.There’s nothing nicer than getting a quick email bulletin from a fellow explorer (our ‘food correspondents’) alerting us to a new discovery or re- lating a particularly exciting eating or food shopping experience.We really couldn’t cover this city’s food without them. In no particular order,a big hurrah to the Susans—Suzy Flannery,Suzy Brien and Susie Schenker. Paul van Reyk, as always, has been a great scout (and lunch companion).Ditto Phoebe Alexander and our new friend Richard Wu.Elizabeth Schaffer and Kay Richardson have risen admirably to the chal- lenge, often setting out specially to double-check things for us and where would we (and our Vietnamese chapter) be without Cabra consultants Cuong Le,Thang Ngo and Peter Nguyen? Rodney Dunn,Liane Colwell and Anthony Wong have been tireless too, as have so many others—in particular our wonderful SBS colleagues and Gourmet Safaris friends. A special thanks of course to Mel Erduran for all her legwork at SBS and to Liz Kaydos for those endless fact-checking phone calls—not an enviable task.We’re so grateful to the talented Chris Chun for his gorgeous cover designs...and food tips.And to Rebecca Kaiser at Allen & Unwin, who doubles as food scout and publisher,the usual round of heartfelt applause.
