Robbie To Open A Restaurant in Norton St

[Joe's Magpies]

On Twitter, Robbie has annouced that he is opening a new restaurant in Norton St, Leichhardt in three weeks. It's going to be called tigerTiger. It's at the Zoo Bar. They will be serving Pizza, Pasta & Schnizel. They will also have a bistro menu as well.

They will be having the grand opening on 24 August. Invite only. It's opened to the public from the 25th for Lunch & Dinner.

Might go and check it out.

Brave man, very few people make money in the food game and most end up with a big hole in their bank account. Fashion and food, most lenders stay well clear of

90% of Italian restaurants on Norton St are pure garbage.

For Robbies sake I hope his one doesn't fall into this category, will have to check it out.

For good Italian, go to Haberfield.

Wonder what would be on the Ennis pizza?

Best of luck to him.
Surprised he didn't open a Lebanese belly dancing one just like that restaurant across from the movies.

Wish him the best but surely this is something a pro athlete would do towards the end of his career.

My sister also mentioned last night after also seeing it on Twitter.

Food is the one business you dont get into unless u have the know how and the time. Im not saying it wont go well, everyting on Norton street sells but a restaurant should be the last thing on his mind right now. Even if he has his girl running it, any business man would have his nose right in it.

Opening a couple weeks before the semis, perfect timing.

He'll profit, no worries. As long as the prices aren't ridiculous, he should be fine. People will go just because it's his.

I don't see him having anything to do with the day to day running of the restaurant probably just put his dollars and name to it and let some other mug do all the elbow grease.... Similar to Christian Vieri

You want to make real money in food you open a lunch shop in a relatively isolated industrial estate. Alot of profit in those with a virtual caged customer base of suckers.

Spot on !

 

[gronkathon]

Plus you only work 7 - 2:30 5 days a week.

If you didn't have to deal with people it would be the perfect job

Napoli in Bocca is fantastic, great pizza's in traditional Neapolitan style (thin base, not too much topping). Most of the workers there are fresh off the boat too.

Il Goloso (now called Haberfield Post I believe) and La Disfida are also great Haberfield joints.

Best Pizza I've had in Sydney though is at Rosso Pomodoro in Balmain. Closest thing you'll get to Italy.

Never been to Frattini, might have to check it out.

 

[gronkathon]

Italian pizza is not a touch on a proper NYC pizza though.

Frattini is good. Great veal and scampi dish last time I was there

no sauce, bland base and no topping.

And it'll be $99.95 for a large

Couldn't disagree with you more r.e pizza, then again I am Italian. Traditional Neapolitan pizza if made correctly and with fresh/proper ingredients can't be beaten, IMO. But each to their own.

Will have to give Frattini a try.

 

[big country]

yeah - but i heard the place is a bit of a dive:shock:

 

[gronkathon]

I can see the merits in that style of Italian pizza but it just doesn't do it for me as far as texture. Flavour wise it all depends on the sauce for me

But hey I am a fan of my own pizzas. I didn't spend that long weekend building a woodfire oven to go out and buy too often

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Nothing beats a wood oven. My grandmother still has one and often cooks in there, its especially good for meats as well.

Keys for pizza are the sauce and the base. It's pretty simple really but surprisingly easy to stuff up.

Also if you can try and find buffalo mozzarella cheese. Makes a huge difference.

 

[gronkathon]

Yeah I got put onto the buffalo back when I was at Uni. Ahh the lessons you learn in Manning bar at 10am on a Tuesday

Gronk...were you /are you , one of the many barefooted unwashed manning bar inhabitants ??
