What we covered this week

• First look: It’s a sunny afternoon and people are strolling down the street, waving to the local butcher. This isn’t Pontypandy, it’s Paddington – and they’re greeting the team at family-run butcher Field to Fork.

• “Fucking crabs everywhere”: the time 19 mud crabs escaped at Spice Temple, as told by executive chef Andy Evans.

• I can’t stop thinking about: the buttery, beautiful clay pot rice at a cool Korean diner. The dish sees every grain of rice evenly coated in truffle butter with a hunk of Glacier 51 toothfish on top. “Leaving behind even a single morsel would be unthinkable,” says Broadsheet writer Pilar Mitchell.

• A Sydneysider has been named Australia’s best bartender at the Diageo World Class Bartender Awards. You won’t believe how quickly he made three Espresso Martinis.

• All the new restaurant, bar and cafe openings we got excited about in May.

• Five to try: seriously good gluten-free baked goods in Sydney. These loaves, doughnuts, tarts and cakes stand up to our city’s best gluten-stacked options.

• The best thing I’ve eaten lately: the Broadsheet Sydney team’s favourite bites of autumn.
