Uber Eats launches world-first dining-out deals for top Sydney restaurants
I don't know about you, but Uber Eats to me means Sundays on the couch with Netflix after a few too many the night before. Not anymore. In a world-first, Uber Eats has launched a brand-new feature on the app called Dine Out, giving Sydneysiders access to hundreds of in-person dining deals at their favourite restaurants and bars. And in even cooler news, Sydney is the very first place in the world to get access to this new feature – thanks to our world-class dining scene. Why has Uber Eats launched this, when for years the delivery giant has played in the at-home food delivery space, you may ask? Ed Kitchen, the managing director of Uber Eats Australia and New Zealand (yep, his name really is Kitchen), says it's all been designed to give people more affordable dining options, while helping restaurants fill seats during the traditionally slower winter season. 'Aussies know us for bringing local food to their door, but they also love dining out. That's why we're launching Dine Out with Uber Eats in Sydney – a global first – offering exclusive in-restaurant deals with rides built in. It's about making eating out more affordable and giving restaurants a boost during the quieter winter months.' So, how does it work? It's pretty easy. Open your Uber Eats app, and then select 'Dine Out'. You'll then see hundreds of deals spanning sunny cafés to waterfront fine diners. And then you can, quite literally, go to town. There are hundreds of bars and restaurants in Sydney offering Dine Out deals, including Nel, Gildas, Ace Hotel 's Lobby Bar, Centro 86, Mary's and more. During a quick scroll I saw 25 per cent off Fabbrica Darlinghurst, 20 per cent off Catalina, and 30 per cent off Employees Only. How good! To celebrate the launch, Uber Eats is hosting a one-night-only pop-up with a delicious feast curated by former Fred's chef and cookbook author Danielle Alvarez on Friday, August 8. Going down at House of Eats in Darlinghurst, expect dishes from Catalina and Mary's, and tipples from P&V. Tickets are free (yes, really!), and there are two sittings – but I expect them to get snapped up quickly. You can pop your name down here. Dine Out with Uber Eats is now live in the Uber Eats app – and if it means supporting hospitality in challenging months, and encouraging you to get off the couch and go eat delicious food, then I'm all for it.

Lee So-eun: From Law to Music - The Inspiring Return of a Multi-Talented Artist
The Incredible Journey of a Multi-Talented Artist You're 16, you release your debut album, become famous for hits like "Husband" and "Kitchen," then decide to completely change careers, become a lawyer in New York, and after two decades, return to your first love: music. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sounds like something out of a Bollywood movie, right? But this is exactly what Lee So-eun has done, and honestly, it's giving us major life goals. The Korean artist, who's now 42, is set to release her new album "Lee So-eun's Perspective - Notes on a Poem" on July 23rd, marking her return to music after a 20-year hiatus. For those doing the math, her last album "Think of Me" was released way back in 2005. That's like... before Instagram was even a thing! When Dreams Take a Detour (And That's Totally Okay) What makes Lee So-eun's story so relatable is how she didn't follow the typical "stick to one thing" narrative that we're often pressured into. After gaining popularity with songs like "Resembles You," "Kitchen," "Farewell," and "For a Long Time," she made the bold decision to pursue higher education. She graduated from Korea University's English Literature department in 2007, then packed her bags for the United States. Talk about a plot twist! She got accepted into not one, but four American law schools including Northwestern University, Cornell, Georgetown, and Notre Dame. She chose Northwestern University's Law School in Chicago, focusing on human rights law and copyright law - areas that probably resonated with her artistic background. This reminds us of how many young people today are exploring multiple career paths. Just like how some of our favorite influencers are also entrepreneurs, or how actors become directors, Lee So-eun proved that you don't have to be stuck in one box forever. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Musical Comeback That's Making Hearts Flutter Fast forward to 2025, and Lee So-eun is ready to show the world that artistic souls never really fade away. Her new album is a collaboration with children's song composer Rema (real name Kim Eun-sun), featuring 12 poems from the poetry collection "To My Little Giant" transformed into songs. What's really cool is that she personally translated four bonus tracks into English, giving listeners a chance to experience how language changes the emotional delivery of the same content. The album was co-produced with help from various artists including Choi Jin-kyung from crossover band "Second Moon," producer Yang Si-on, blues & jazz pianist Nam Me-ari, and producer Lee Ki-hyun. The project became especially meaningful to her after becoming a mother. She felt a thirst for content that could positively influence flexible and pure hearts, wanting to create something that could awaken children's emotions, comfort teenagers' feelings, and serve as a medium of empathy for adults navigating changing relationships.

Matt Tebbutt throws his support behind John Torode despite being lined up to replace him on MasterChef
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SATURDAY Kitchen star Matt Tebbutt has publicly backed John Torode after the BBC asked him to step away from his MasterChef job. Even though Tebbutt, 51, is among the favourites to replace Torode, 59, should he walk away from the programme, he liked the Australian chef's rebuttal of an accusation of racism levelled against him. 5 Matt Tebbutt is a front runner to replace John Torode on MasterChef Credit: PA 5 Torode has denied using racist language after an allegation was made against him Credit: PA 5 Tebbutt liked Torode's statement in which he defended himself against an historic claim of racism Torode posted a statement on social media last night in which he confirmed he was the unnamed party who allegedly used racist language in an report into former co-star Gregg Wallace's conduct. He insists he has no memory of the incident and denies it ever happened. So far, he has not fallen on his sword and currently remains as the show's host. The claim against him emerged as part of an investigation into his shamed former co-star Gregg Wallace that saw 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour upheld against him. While food critic Grace Dent has already led the celebrity version of the show and is a favourite to present the amateur version too, Tebbutt is also being lined up. It's believed he has already landed the job fronting MasterChef: The Professionals. He has experience of taking over a popular food show after the departure of an established host. Tebbutt replaced James Martin on Saturday Kitchen in 2016 after the Yorkshireman left the Beeb to host his own Saturday morning show on rival network ITV. A TV insider said: 'Both Grace and Matt are well thought of at the Beeb and the one thing they want in the wake of the show's recent crisis is familiarity and safety. 'They're also conscious that having a male and female pairing is a welcome break from it being fronted by two blokes.' Meanwhile, Torode was cited — but not named — in findings published over a racist remark he allegedly made during a private conversation. Torode, who has hosted the BBC1 cooking show with Wallace since 2005, was shocked to be told of the allegation — which did not receive a complaint at the time but had been raised with investigators. 'Devastated' Gregg Wallace FIRED by BBC over MasterChef sexual comments In a farcical turn of events, the BBC was unable to specify the time or date of the allegation, narrowing it down to '2018 or 2019'. Shockingly, sources said the BBC and production company Banijay asked John to resign from the beleaguered show last week and claim he had mental health problems — to which he refused. He issued a statement to The Sun confirming he was the individual in the Wallace investigation who was 'alleged to have used racial language on one occasion'. However John — married to actress and ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner, 53 — believes it never even happened. The dad of four said: 'The allegation is I did so sometime between 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and the person I was speaking with did not believe it was intended in a malicious way and I apologised immediately afterwards. "I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened 'However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' 5 John married actress and ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner Credit: PA:Press Association 5 John and Gregg began hosting a revamped MasterChef in 2005 Credit: Shine Ltd It is understood to be the only issue involving him in the report, though a source close to him said he is 'absolutely devastated to have been pulled into this mess'. They went on: 'He was at drinks after filming when he is alleged to have used an inappropriate racial term. "The witness said he apologised instantly, and he was mortified. 'The witness even stated he didn't use the term as a slur. 'No one complained at the time, but it's been brought up during the inquiry. "Shockingly he was only made aware of the incident two weeks ago and was only informed on Friday that it would be upheld." John Torode's statement in full Following publication of the Executive Summary of the Investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. For the sake of transparency I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. The allegation is that I did so sometime between 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence. The BBC called John on Thursday night, followed by an email on Friday, asking him to step back. He was told to have his answer by Monday. A source claimed: 'They ambushed him, and it was suggested he quit due to the stress and scrutiny of the furore around the show. 'Obviously he was absolutely shocked and appalled and told them quite firmly he didn't have any mental health issues. "To try to use mental health as a get-out clause seems incredibly low — and is also deeply unfair to those with genuine mental health trauma. 'John absolutely loves MasterChef, and doesn't want to lose his job because of an investigation into his co-star."

Labor urged to set regulatory pathways for self-driving cars
Uber Eats ANZ Managing Director Ed Kitchen has called on the Albanese government to increase its investment in self-driving vehicles and more sustainable packaging during its second term in parliament. Mr Kitchen commended the Labor government's progress on industrial relations during its first term but said investment into autonomous vehicles should be a priority for them going forward. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and top business leaders have discussed the major economic and political issues facing the nation at Australia's Economic Outlook 2025. 'There's an explosion of autonomous tech and self-driving technology, particularly in the US, but also in the Middle East and Europe, and we would love to work with the government to set the regulatory pathways in track to enable that here in Australia,' Mr Kitchen said. 'There's still a lot of work being done. 'The technology is really here now. And in the next decade to come, I think we will see a bigger part for that in our cities.'
