Is your tummy feeling lucky?

As the temperature starts to plummet with many of us working long hours from home, Larry Hodes and Josh Simon of the much-loved Arbour Café in Birdhaven have a new foodie fix for customers. Out of their Dark Kitchen comes authentic Japanese cuisine – The Lucky Peach House of Ramen

“Ramen, a Japanese staple, is a delicious noodle soup served in a meat or chicken-based broth infused with soy sauce or miso for that real umami kick. It’s light and warm but a very filling meal too which is what people want after a long, cold day’ says co-owner Joshua.

The Dark Kitchen concept, which is essentially a centralised production kitchen that can put out any type of food, operates purely online has been gaining traction as a global trend. “It has never made more sense to lean into technology for the restaurant industry right as we navigate the current lockdown” says Larry “The Lucky Peach House of Ramen” will be available on UberEATS and Mr Delivery this week”

The Wilds: A Sanctuary of Stone and Steel

The Wilds was officially opened to the public in 1938, carved out of the rocky “koppies” (hills) of the Witwatersrand. Unlike the manicured lawns of the city’s more traditional parks, The Wilds was designed to showcase South Africa’s botanical heritage. It is a vertical garden of sorts, featuring steep stone paths that wind through forests of yellowwood trees, proteas, and ancient cycads. At its highest point, the reserve offers one of the most spectacular views of the Johannesburg skyline, where the brutalist towers of Hillbrow seem to rise directly out of the prehistoric-looking vegetation.

However, like many of Johannesburg’s public spaces, The Wilds fell into a period of deep neglect during the late 1990s and early 2000s. As crime rates rose and the city’s maintenance budgets shifted, the reserve became overgrown and was perceived as a “no-go zone.” The waterfalls stopped running, the stone paths crumbled, and the once-vibrant greenhouse became a skeletal ruin. For nearly two decades, this incredible piece of real estate sat largely abandoned, used only by a few brave locals and the occasional film crew looking for a “wilderness” setting within city limits.
