A cult Bondi sandwich shop arrives in Redfern
$$$$
Wunderlich Lane has an impressive breadth of dining options. Home to Greek restaurant Olympus Dining, noodle joint Island Radio and Mexican rooftop bar Lottie, the precinct has also just welcomed a S'wich sandwich shop.
S'wich was started by friends Jordan Abram and Jay Fink in Bondi in 2022, and this is the venue's second outpost. The Surry Hills menu includes originals like the S'wich Schnit stacked with a chicken schnitzel, white cabbage and peanut chilli sauce alongside newcomers like the Core Crunch, layered with shredded chicken, avocado and honey walnut crunch mix.
What makes this sandwich shop so popular is that you can build your own sandwich from scratch and 'S'wich' out your breads, from A.P's Bakery fenugreek and sesame sourdough to Sonoma focaccia or a gluten-free loaf from Wholegreen Bakery.

Like the luxury resort? Now you can buy the home
Dinner is ready. I'm wandering barefoot across the deep green lawn, glass of assyrtiko in hand, to watch the sun lower itself into the Aegean Sea when I hear George, my butler, gently calling. He has set up champagne and snacks on a long marble table by the pool and wants to pop the cork. Inside, across the broad sweep of the lounge, I can see the chef in the kitchen, grilling fish for the first course. Unbelievably, this is my private home, within the One&Only Aesthesis estate on the Athenian Riviera. I have always wanted to visit this magical stretch of land, the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula, just a half-hour drive from the centre of Athens. If it had a wrist, its pulse would still be racing from the heady glamour of the 1960s, when wealthy Greek families would moor their yachts and stay the weekend, Maria Callas would sing for Ari Onassis, and Nureyev would dance by the pool. And now I live here – if only for one night.

Edwina Bartholomew: AI beauty and the TikTok filter video I regret posting
I posted a video online this week that I regret. It was a summary of the news headlines on Sunrise featuring clips from our reporters and a look behind the scenes. It's something I do every day. The problem was when I posted it on TikTok, I applied a 'soft face' filter. Here's the difference so you can see for yourself. No blemishes, even more blush, exaggerated eyes and wrinkle free. The changes are subtle but significant. It's not what I look like in real life. If a 42-year-old woman in full TV makeup feels the need to filter, then what example does that set for the young women watching the clip online? Actress Jamie Lee Curtis summed up the issue perfectly in a recent article for The Guardian. 'The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers — there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances', Curtis told the paper. 'And it is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want.' There is nothing new about impossible beauty standards fuelled by celebrity worship, but the difference is that we now have round the clock access to heavily filtered stars. When I was growing up as an impressionable teenager, we devoured magazines like Girlfriend and Dolly and upbeat ads for Impulse deodorant. Our makeup supplies came almost exclusively from the chemist. We were never privy to the private lives of our favourite celebrities or GRWM videos detailing every product they used, or plastic surgery procedures undertaken. Now, it's standard for the likes of Kris Jenner and Kylie Jenner to share the intimate details of their medical enhancements. When recently asked about her breast augmentation on TikTok, Jenner didn't hold back. 'You have got what I am looking for to have done, in terms of like, a boob job,' Rachel Leary posted to the 29-year-old. Jenner. 'It's like the most perfect natural looking boob job ever.' Jenner replied: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! Silicone!!!' I suppose its admirable stars are honest about what work they have had done. It beats staring at someone's forehead to figure out of they've had Botox. But what does it mean for our continued pursuit of perfection? Vogue Magazine has always been the bastion of the fashion industry. The pages curated by Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour and her magazine minions around the globe have set the standard for fashion trends and taken the pulse of pop culture since the 1890s. This week, a dangerous new trend appeared in Vogue's pages - AI models. A campaign for Guess featured a beautiful model in what appeared to be a Greek village. The model was wearing a floral mini dress and striped maxi dress from the Guess summer collection, but it was all fake. The only indication the images were entirely made-up was a tiny written disclaimer in the fold admitting they were AI-generated. Vogue already features genetically blessed models, now we must contend with genetically altered too. Celebrities enhanced by plastic surgery in heavily filtered photos alongside AI models in exotic fake destinations. It sets an impossible beauty standard for the rest of us. A 2024 Dove report showed almost 50 per cent of Australian women felt pressured to alter their appearance because of online content, even when they knew images were fake or AI-generated. Even more concerning, there are currently few obligations in Australia to clearly label images as AI leaving individual publications to decide how transparent they are with readers. I deleted my video this week and won't be applying a tricky TikTok filter again. The alterations made me uneasy. Ultimately, the more honest we are with our own content, the better off we will be. Maybe magazines will follow suit and realise real is way forward too.

I hate myself for it, but I still love watching Gordon Ramsay yell at people
Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service ★★★ ½ It's 1.07am and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is speeding through Washington DC wearing a black baseball cap. Police sirens whirr behind him as his eyes dart between the road, his rearview mirror and a camera on the dash. In this first scene of his new series, the 58-year-old multimillionaire is doing his best Jason Bourne ... which is a bit more like Jason Statham in Spy. Ramsay is on his way to a Greek restaurant, he tells us, to uncover 'the problems that everybody tries to hide from me'. He has a man on the inside. He has a duffle bag full of spy gear. And within minutes he'll be rifling around in a dark kitchen and muttering 'f---ing hell' while throwing bloody chicken carcasses on the ground. We're back, baby. Despite all the theatrics, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service is essentially just Kitchen Nightmares. Each episode is centred on a struggling US restaurant, which the hard-headed Brit has been tasked to turn around. It features all the obligatory shots of dirty kitchens, festering food and Ramsay cussing out belligerent owners. The only differences? Well, an 'insider' on the staff has tipped him off instead of the owners nominating themselves ('Please don't fire me,' one half-jokes when outed in a Traitors -style reveal). There are a lot more hidden body cams. And, importantly, our boy is undercover for the first half of each episode, monitoring the situation from inside the world's most conspicuous van parked right outside. It's beyond silly, but purposefully so. And once it gets to the meat of the thing – Ramsay giving it to people straight and turning their lives around – it's just as enjoyable as the long-running series it's so indebted to. More than 20 years ago, this foul-mouthed chef struck TV gold with the creation of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. The unvarnished series tapped into the chaos of real-life restaurants, juiced it for drama and laughs, and managed to (mostly) tie things off into a happy ending so you don't feel too bad about all the genuine hardship. The show spawned a hugely successful US adaptation, Kitchen Nightmares, as well as the spin-off series, Hotel Hell – both of which have been comfort food for me while home sick over the years or in the bleary-eyed trenches of new parenthood. And I'm not alone. The former proved popular enough to warrant a revival in 2023.
