About The Chopping Board

Welcome to The Chopping Board - the people's blog.  

We are just a few random friends who love food.  We will aim to provide you with honest commentary about the places you want us to visit.


We are a bit different to other food blogs because we listen to our readers.  Many of our reviews are based on reader requests, not based on what our stomachs want!

We would love to hear if you have any requests for particular places you'd want us to visit so we can blog about.  So send us an email or catch us on Twitter

Favourite pastimes: catching up with friends, eating, movies and trying to play sport when I can.

Hey people! I'm new to Adelaide (well, I've been here three and a half years but I still feel new) and can never think of anywhere to have lunch so I am devouring your CBD lunch spot reviews and hope to check out a few places next week. As I am writing this I've just spied your review of Chuck Wagon 175 which is somewhere I read about in the paper last week.... looking forward to keeping up with your blog.
