Apparently a table of ten of my mates and guests at Dockside yesterday devoured 50 doz oysters between them. $47 a doz they were. The
platinum cards melted under the pressure - by all accounts. The Dining prawn did his best but was overshadowed by the Greek prawn.
A little bit of conspicuous consumption every now and then is good for the economy....
Yeah baby!
And an update -
TV3 has admitted via Throng that the oysters pictured behind the newsreader
on the TV3 item were not
Bluffies.
Well done Phil Corkery for setting the matter straight. Phil is a good bugger from down home.
and still one of the best newsmen in the business.
I bet he ripped the philistine in charge of graphics another butt bit.

10 blokes do 50 dozen at 5 dozen each
My table of 8 at Soul did 42 dozen at 5.25 dozen each.
Victory to Auckland.
Cards of any shade should have been impervious to melting.... It was $130 for as many bluffies as one could feasibly poke in.
Sorry... I read Dockside as Viaduct. A very Auckland form of dyslexia.
