Where to eat in Adelaide

Can't think of what to do in Adelaide on the weekend? Every Friday we'll provide you with a "Friday Fantastic" idea!

How about just getting out there in this fine city of Adelaide and its suburbs and trying some new food from somewhere that you haven't been before?

Don't know where to go that is good?  Well, there are so many different restaurants out there and surely a lot of you reading this would prefer a place near by to where you live.  Well, you can visit somewhere close by, but we recommend venturing away out of the comfort zone of your local area.

So do you want some help finding a new place to eat?  Need some help finding some grub?  Well, why don't you check out Grubfinder.

For travelers to Australia, "grub" is an Aussie word for food, and Grubfinder is full of suggestions for a feed. They specialise in take away food, with current Adelaide menus numbering over 1000 different eateries. So if you got a hankering for your fave take out food, find somewhere new and support an Adelaide local by visiting Grubfinder.

If its too chilly for you this weekend to step foot outside, there are also plenty of places that can deliver to you, ya big lazy bums out there!  Don't be lazy though, take friends or family out and put bums on seats.

Send us your going out photos via Twitter or email tork.southaust@gmail.com.  We'd love to see you enjoying some Adelaide meals.

Have a great weekend, what ever you do.

Soccer in Adelaide

This photo is amazing.  It was taken by Matthew Reid on 8th of October 2008 at Hindmarsh Stadium, coincidently in Hindmarsh.

It is an AFC Champions League match between Adelaide United and PFC Kuruvchi. Adelaide won 3-0, nice! What a fantastic photograph.

Soccer in Australia is growing in popularity fast.  So much that we are certain to receive annoyed soccer fans leaving comments saying "It's called Football, not Soccer".

But recently in the news, it seems that Football/Soccer is set to return to the Adelaide Oval.  Now, we're not talking about A-League, we are talking about the Socceroos returning to Adelaide, an event that hasn't occurred for over 50 years.

Apparently, the last time the Australian National side was at the Oval was in 1958 against England's Blackpool.

Adelaide looks set to hold a friendly in June this year against Serbia.  Nothing has been set in stone just yet, but Melbourne is out of the picture with clashes of games with other football codes.

This is going to be fantastic.  If you live in Adelaide, mark yourself as busy in June so you don't miss this opportunity to see a rare event.

We think it's going to be great, playing Soccer at one of the world's most beautiful sporting stadiums.

Hindmarsh Stadium is still always going to be the home of Soccer/Football in Adelaide.  But we still cannot wait to see this great game make its way back to the Oval after such a long time.

Are you excited? Would you go? Do you call it Soccer or Football? We're interested to hear your comments.
