Oh my god I tell you what, absolutely out of my head Is this because it's his birthday soon but he he's away for his birthday because it's Christmas? No. He had, his brother gave him a voucher for this very fancy restaurant. I love a restaurant voucher. And James, my friend, has been saying, we've got to go and use this voucher sometime. And I'm like, well, it's a free dinner.

Of course I'm going to go. Midweek. And also, this is my friend that stayed for like three or four months. I might be exaggerating. Was it three months? It was a while, though. It was a while. He stayed in the spare room.

So he was like, well, look, if it's going to be any more than the free voucher, I'll pay. It's like a thank you for having me stay. And I was like, you don't need to do that. But okay, a free dinner. I'll surely take that. You know, like a contribution towards power and water would have been. But that's good. Like if a little meal.

Yeah, you're actually right, like he may owe me more. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I'm just saying. Well, it all depends where you went. Well, we went to a very fancy restaurant. What's it called? The Josh Emmett one. Oh.

Onslow. Yeah. Onslow. At the bottom of that. Yeah. That is way too fancy for you. I know. I know.

That is way too fancy for you. You're trash. Just throw that shit on my shoe. You're a straight up mince in the fridge. You're a mince fridge boy. I know. I know. It is way too fancy for you. You're trash. You're a straight up shit on my shirt. You're a straight up mince in the fridge. You're a mince fridge boy. Dude, that restaurant fucking rules. Have you been for an eight? Yes.

Oh my God, it's amazing. As you say, it's not an everyday, let's pop out and get a quick bite. It's a plan ahead, save some money. It was almost like we were on a date, but it was like cute. Yeah, but there was shit. There was some money there. There was some people on the tables Oh yeah boy Next to us and stuff

Did you wear a collared shirt? This is the lovely Josh Emmett's place Did you wear a collared shirt? Yes I did You piece of shit Did you or did you not? No I did

I did because I knew It was a posh place I want to see a photo Yeah I wore my nice blue one He's got a nice blue shirt Nice Ralph Lauren Shit I would have wanted to see this

Fuck though I just felt so out of place. The whole time was just squirming. I was just like, everything's posh. Yeah, boy. It is funny, eh? Run us through your picks. You better have got the potatoes as a side.

No, I didn't get that. John Batman knows potatoes. He does know potatoes. It was Gwyneth Paltrow that shared his potatoes. Oh, really? In show days, potatoes are Josh Emmett potatoes. That potato dish he does. potatoes it was like Gwyneth Paltrow that shared his potatoes oh really Sade's potatoes are Josh Emmett potatoes that potato she does you can't say they're her potatoes they're Josh Emmett's potatoes well when she does her potatoes my mum always like can you get Sade to make the potatoes it's the gratin eh like the slit yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I remember getting that because that's the thing I don't even know

like a lot of the dishes and names and so so I got the Szechuan duck breast. And she was like, how do you want that? We're duck people. We're duck people. We're duck people. She's like, how do you want that? I'm like, on a plate? And she's like, no, it's like steak.

Like medium rare pink. Well done. I wouldn't know how to correctly have duck. No. And so I said, well, what do you recommend? Because when I have steak, I'm like medium rare, and that's what I got, and it was amazing. Oh, yum.

I know. What else did you have? What else did you have? It was so yum. Because I'm looking at the menu here. I'm on the menu. There was beef. I'm on the menu.

There was beef. Did you have the beef? Yeah, I had some beef. The braised organic beef cheek? Sally's horse radish? No, James had that, and then for an entree, there was beef as well. Beefised organic beef cheek. Sally's horse radish. No, Vaughan. No, James had that. And then for like an entree, there was like beef as well. Beef tongue.

A starter. Beef something. Oh, yeah, crumb beef tongue. Yeah, beef tongue. Yeah. My boys love it. Fuck yeah. That's a real Vaughan order there.

Fuck yeah. I was like, Vaughan would love that. That's wild, man. Beef tongue's not beginning shit. But then so at the start of the night, she was like, well, here's, do you want some drinks? Here's the drinks menu. And so James and I, we love, like you, Hayley, we love a Prosecco. Oh yeah.

Oh my God. There was no Prosecco on the menu. It was all posh stuff. And then so James is like trying to like Google the wine and gets busted Googling it. Amazing. You ask at a restaurant like that, they've got a, most of the time on, they'll have a sommelier. Yeah.

Tell me about the wines. I just feel so out of place. Oh, that rules. I'm usually a dry or sweet Prosecco guy. Like, what would you- What would you recommend? No, keeping in mind I'm going to order this, this, this, this. I fucking love doing that at restaurants.

No, I was a bit like out of place, but ended up with just some lovely gin and tonics. But shit, it's nice there. Can I ask you, because you know when someone buys you a voucher for a restaurant like this and it's like a hundred bucks and that hundred bucks covers entrees. Yeah, I don't know what the voucher was for. I don't think you'd buy a voucher for someone for this place

and it would be a hundred dollars. It needed to be a little bit more. But then we were just like, oh my God. I'm going to take a chunk off. Oh, hell yeah. I'm not poo-pooing a hundred dollar voucher. Don't get me wrong. But you would have had to have spent a bit of money as well.

Well, I don't know what, I went to the toilet when he paid for it, but I don't know what it cost. You fucking... No, I offered to pay and he's like, no, it's my, I insist it's my shower. Okay, well that's nice. He's such a good boy. No, I gave two resistances. You give two resistances when someone offers to pay.

And a fake. No, no, no, no, no, no. And a dummy on the third, you go, and just let it sit. And then you let it, yeah. Are you sure? That's fucking slack. But then we were just. I get very passionate about food.

No, yeah, it's a beautiful food. But then we were like, oh, my God, we're voucher people. You know, because you feel a bit second class when you're a voucher person. I know, I mean, like, I don't actually have cash. You know, like, we don't belong here. We're here only because of a voucher. Oh, gosh. But, yeah, no, it was amazing.

If you need a nice place in Auckland. Josh Emits Onslow. It is amazing. They do a Sunday long lunch. Should we go? Yeah, a four course long lunch. $95 a person with an optional wine match. Oh, yes.

I'm wine matching. If it's not going to blow the budget, a wine match is a must'm wine matching oh yeah if it's not gonna blow the budget yeah look a wine match is very expensive it's very as long as you can get home that's a special occasion that's a special occasion thing when work's paying yeah
