In Berlin, they’re spiking their drinks with it. In London and New York, they’re popping it in pill form. It’s raw cacao and you’ve probably got some in your pantry. But does it actually work?

Make sure you’re sitting down: a food truck is travelling around the country and giving Nutella away for free.

Home and Away‘s Tessa James revels in the sights, sounds, fashions and tastes of the world-famous race meeting in her exclusive travel diary for delicious.

“What the f— pork at KFC?” wrote one person on KFC’s Instagram page this week. “WHAT THE HECK KFC” and “wtf is this??” wrote others. Find out why here.

Japan’s first naked restaurant, The Amrita, opens next month. But the restaurant received flack this week after it was announced that overweight diners will be refused entry.

A spate of announced closures has seen bookings spike at the restaurants concerned. Is it a case of diner’s not knowing what they’ve got until it’s (almost) gone?

Sometimes it feels like it’s just not enough to be an award-winning chef these days. You have to have a television show. Or a contract with a supermarket chain. Or an ice cream you designed for a major company. Guillaume Brahimi recently announced that he was joining Bulla as the dairy giant’s latest brand ambassador, joining George Calombaris and Kirsten Tibballs. Other news bites you might have missed this week: Woolworths has added a new apple variety to its line-up. The “Envy” apple is a cross between the Braeburn and Royal Gala varieties and was originally grown in New Zealand. It is currently grown in Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland and is available exclusively at Woolworths stores. An Irish fellow has discovered a 10kg chunk of 2000-year-old butter preserved in a bog. Thanks to their temperature, acidity and oxygen levels, such swampy quagmires were apparently a great way for our ancestors to preserve dairy products. Apparently, the stuff is still edible. Whether or not it’s spreadable is another matter entirely. In New Zealand, an avocado crime spree is underway. Growers have reported a spate of large-scale thefts across the North Island after a shortage caused rising prices. The weirdest thing? A black market has sprung up. “There is someone making a living off stealing avocados and selling them on to the black market,” Sergeant Aaron Fraser told reporters. Australia suffered from an avocado shortage in January and supermarkets were selling them for a whopping $6 each.

Brooklyn Depot’s expansion from Surfers Paradise to Sydney’s Surry Hills appears to be going well. It’s certainly a boon for burger-loving Sydneysiders. No burger at this price point has any business being this good. www.brooklyndepot.com.au/surry-hills Editor-in-chief Kerrie McCallum discovered her “death row meal” this week – the meal she’d like to have before going to the chair. It was Restaurant Hubert’s Malakoff, a moreish puck of fried gruyère, Dijon mustard and dill pickle. www.restauranthubert.com Catalina’s winter menu has arrived. While you could almost eat the view of Rose Bay – it turns out the harbour’s beautiful in winter, too – we opted for the Fremantle octopus terrine and the rack of NSW lamb with citrus ricotta and greens. www.catalinarosebay.com.au Zaaffran head chef Vikrant Kapoor is leading diners down the restaurant’s new Koomcha Trail and the results are marvelous. Think Indian street food meets tapas meets degustation. It’s certainly not the usual curried affair. www.zaaffran.com Truffle season is underway and we’ll talking about it a little more next week. In the meantime, we’ve been enjoying the house-made pappardelle with truffles, eschallots, lemon juice and goat’s cheese at The Winery. www.thekeystonegroup.com.au/venue/the-winery We also managed to squeeze in the last week of 10 William Street’s Pinbone pop-up in Paddington. The highlight? A vibrant green stinging nettle congee. A soft, nutty, Chinese-styled risotto, it was savoury, sweet and thoroughly nourishing. www.10williamst.com.au Don’t forget to check in with our roving team of restaurant critics, either: Dan Stock couldn’t help but praise Melbourne’s French food revolution after his visit to Florent Gerardin’s Oter, “an unashamedly hoof to toof affair, where you’ll be served all the iron-y, blood-y, pancreatic squishy bits.” Dan also visited White Mojo, where the highlight was the crab croissant burger. “Though it’s created with supreme online shareability in mind, it’s actually surprisingly good,” he said.
