There is something devilishly good about the fried chicken from Butter, the Surry Hills storefront that sells fried chicken alongside sneakers and Champagne. This is chicken thigh dressed to impress, wearing a spicy red jacket that is best quenched with a slushie served on the side. Kick back in your high-tops with a bunch of mates to enjoy executive chef Julian Cincotta's streetwise incarnation of fried chicken and a tangle of shoestring fries. Vegos listen up: order the fresh ear of corn, which arrives anointed with a splodge of miso butter, and a 'shroom burger for a meat-free fest. Those with a love of food, fashion, music and culture take note: Butter has launched a new e-commerce streetwear concept store housing a range of sneakers and apparel. Butter, 6 Hunt St, Sydney.

The Italian Bowl
Part old-school
Italian-Australian trattoria, part innovative eatery, the menu options on offer
at The Italian Bowl run by Vince
Muscolo and Alexi Spyridis let you
choose your own adventure - allowing you to pick your favourite pasta shape and
pair it with a sauce to suit. Tasting notes: give pesto with penne a go or fuse
fettucine with an arrabiata sauce. Aside from pasta dishes, the chicken
parmigiana, veal with mushroom sauce and king prawn risotto are hugely popular for
those hankering for hearty meals. Stick with tradition for dessert and order
the tiramisu. 255 King St, Newtown, theitalianbowl.com.au

| Seared albacore plays a starring role in this slightly spicy tuna poke from head chef Mark Jensen at Salmon & Bear. |
The first thing you need to know about poké, the Hawaiian-style sushi salad in a bowl, is how to pronounce it: it's pokay, okay? The second thing you need to understand about this island-inspired dish is that it has been reimagined with great effect by Salmon & Bear executive chef Mark Jensen. Say aloha to a poké with prawns in a lemon and coconut dressing served with edamame beans, avocado, cucumber, cherry tomato and snow pea sprouts. If your stomach is really growling, devour a Salmon 'BEARger' stuffed with cos lettuce, tomato, pickles, salsa verde and aioli. 6 Defries Avenue, Zetland, salmonandbear.com.au

| The Guilty pleasure: a cocktail and a Calamity Jane hit the spot at The Guilty. Image: Supplied |
The Guilty Take a billowy bun, filled with everything from American cheese and bacon to McClure's Pickles, add a calorific side of creamy mac and five cheese with pretzel bits and you will understand why The Guilty is in burger buzz feeds around the world. The Weetbix fried chicken sandwich is - true to form - an absolute guilty pleasure. Chef James Hurlston (of Jimmy's Burger fame) also puts you through your paces with the Triple Kecksburger served with jalapenos and bacon. Eli's Ruby, an old-school Rueben that pairs pastrami with a kale kraut, is a slightly more virtuous option. 248 Palmer St Darlinghurst, www.facebook.com/GUILTYSYDNEY/

Kakawa
David Ralph and partner Jin Sun Kim, a chocolatier and pastry chef, know a few quick-fire ways to the heart: from hot chocolates to pralines and specialty slabs such as strawberry and pink peppercorn or chilli with dark chocolate. Dive deep into the Kakawa Chocolates menu to find ice-cream sandwiches, caramels and fudge or Easter-inspired options such as the hot cross bun, Peek a Boo Egg or pun-tastic Eggception. Getting a fix of raspberry and mint crisps and passionfruit rocky road is like getting a big hug from an old friend. This is chocolate as an art form. 147 William St, Darlinghurst, kakawachocolates.com.au

| Friend or pho? Step aside soggy sandwiches. A bowl of steaming pho from So. 9 is just the ticket. Image: Supplied |
So 9
celebrates the inspired street food of Vietnam - from the toasted baguette
known as banh mi to the coveted crispy banh xeo pancakes. Diners are asked to customise
their own banh mi by choosing their own combo from the salad, roll and banh
station menu where the flavours of pate, grilled pork, mayo, chilli and
coriander sing of Southeast Asia. If you're feeling indecisive when ordering
pho, go for chef Hien Pham's recommendation for a fragrant pho tai (noodle soup with sliced beef), which is your passport to
Hanoi. The eatery is named after the No.
9, a lucky number in Vietnamese culture. Shop
