It All Started With a Special… I’m not entirely sure if this is a Capetonian thing or just a me thing, but I am an absolute sucker for specials and events. Don’t get me wrong, I get excited about going out to eat in general. But the moment you slap a limited time menu or a set menu in front of me, you've got my full attention. It’s probably the same level of excitement I used to get whenever an A-list celebrity announced they were coming to South Africa. Justin Bieber. Rihanna. Lady Gaga. That glorious 2010s era when we’d lose our minds because someone actually remembered we existed at the bottom of Africa. Gosh, have I gotten old? Surely not. I think my priorities have just changed. Nowadays? Announce a special and I’m just as excited. So when Grub & Vine announced their lineup of daily specials, each with its own multi-course menu, I was immediately intrigued. But one, in particular, had me mentally clearing my Friday calendar before I’d even finished reading. Beef Welly Fridays.
