NIBBLES » 5 need-to-know bites

1. I put together a list of 18 food films to watch this weekend matched with Melbourne takeaway and delivery. It's for subscribers only, so you'll need the password CURIOUSEATER to access it.2. Six Melbourne chefs have kindly sent me their ultimate comfort food recipes. Go forth and cook, my pretties.3. Southside (Ripponlea), Attica is serving ridiculously good-looking pork sandwiches this Saturday only from 8am or until sold out and I wish it was within my 5km radius.4. Northside (Northcote), Vex Dining is running the Wurstgarth pop-up in Westgarth all weekend serving beers, bratwursts, stockbrot and spaetzle while donning lederhosen.5. If you want to stuff yourself on a good cause, order meals by ASRC Catering or Free to Feed's Brave Meals.

I might be well fed, but I am FED UP.

P.S. I'm re-linking you directly to my 80 Lesser-Known Melbourne Restaurants eBook so you can go on a 5KM World Food Tour of your 'hood and support small local businesses. Always check that venues are open before visiting – this lockdown has been tough.
