🌶️ Jumie The Deal Destroyer Took On The Hottest Pizza in Africa — And Lost.
Smack Pizza created a challenge pizza: 3.5 MILLION Scoville units. The Hottest Pizza in Africa. R200.
Jumie said he could handle it. We didn't believe him but three of us joined to share the pain. We were also wrong.
The verdict:
🍕 Smack Pizza's regular menu: 9/10 ✅ (genuinely great NY-style wood-fired pizza — 8 locations across Joburg, go eat there)
☠️ The Chilli Challenge Pizza specifically: 0.5/10 taste, 5/10 value
We're not saying don't visit Smack Pizza. We're saying don't order THIS pizza unless you genuinely want to suffer for R200 and have tender tummies for two days afterwards.
Jumie ate 1.5 bites. Jumie has seen things now. Jumie is a different man.

🥩 Upmarket Eats — Found Joburg's Best Kept Steakhouse Secret
Kicking off a new series on the page — Upmarket Eats — where I find the fancy spots that are actually a deal. The places worth dressing up for, without the price tag you'd expect.
First stop: George's Grill House at Bedford Centre. Serving proper steaks in Joburg since 1972 — and most people have no idea what they're missing.
The numbers tell the story:
🥩 250g Sizzling Sirloin Special — R149
🦐 Surf & Turf (250g sirloin + prawns!) — R199
🍻 Two meals + two beers = R503 total
The same cut at other upmarket steakhouses in Joburg runs R250–R310. You're getting proper restaurant quality — dry-aged 28–32 days in their own fridge, served in copper sauce pots, that proper old-school steakhouse atmosphere — at almost HALF the price.
My sister flew up from Cape Town and I wanted to take her somewhere special without breaking the bank. This was perfect.
I paid the bill myself — slip's in the video. Honest review.
Taste 8.5/10 | Value 7.5/10 | Kief Approved ✅
📍 George's Grill House — Bedford Centre, Bedfordview
🌐 Also at Hyde Park Corner, Rosebank, Menlyn Maine, Neighbourhood Square

🍔 Two Burgers + Soda for R99 — AND There's a Prayer Room Inside the Restaurant
Found something special this week at Greenstone Mall, Edenvale. Tasty Gallos — fully SANHA Halaal certified. Paid for the meal myself, slip's in the video, honest review through and through.
What blew me away: ☪️ Fully Halaal certified | 🕌 Prayer room inside the restaurant | 💧 Wudu facilities right there | 👩‍🍳 The friendliest lady owner you'll meet | 🍔 Two burgers + a soda for R99 | 👶 Kiddies meal for R45.90
This is a proper community spot. Doesn't matter your background — everyone can eat here worry-free, and the value is unreal for a sit-down meal in Greenstone.
Taste 7.5/10. Value 8.5/10. Kief Approved ✅
📍 Greenstone Mall, Edenvale

🛒 The Shop Most South Africans Are Sleeping On
I spent R431 at Best Before and walked out with a trolley full of brand name snack. They have Dove, Calistos, AXE, baby stuff, drinks, the lot.
Here's the thing nobody explains: Best Before is NOT an expiry date. It's a quality date. The food and products are still completely safe — just discounted because they're closer to that date. That's why this shop is a game-changer for families trying to stretch the budget right now.
I taste-tested 4 things from my haul — the Calistos Mexican Chilli Relish at R45 blew me away (5/5). The little Italian chilli sauce at R13 was all flavour, no heat (3/5).
8 branches across Gauteng — Edenvale, Woodmead, Fourways, Northcliff, Krugersdorp, Boksburg, Atterbury, Centurion.

🥟 Bao & Tea — Is This Gauteng's Most Underrated Spot?
The owner invited me down and I'm glad they did. Open kitchen, braised beef bao, a sesame chicken cheese burger AND bubble tea. Plus daily specials all week long. Drop a 📍 if there's one near you — 4 locations across Gauteng. |

R30. Tomorrow. Bembom. ☕🌯
The 20|30 special is back on the 20th — cappuccino and nata OR prego roll and chips, both R30. That's honestly mad value and I can't stop going back.
Big love to the new Dowerglen Edenvale branch — welcome to the neighbourhood 🙌🇿🇦

🦐 Found a proper lunch special in Bedfordview worth sharing with the family!
Ilios Greek Restaurant at Bedford Crossing is running a daily lunch special — 12 grilled M prawns with their signature basting for just R109. On the regular menu these go for R275, so you're saving R166 every time you go for lunch.
The gyro wrap is also R109 on special if prawns aren't your thing.
Taste rating: 9.5/10 🔥
Value rating: 8.5/10 ✅
I paid for this myself — honest review, no funny business. 📋 Slip's in the video.
📍 Bedford Crossing, 85 Boeing Road East, Bedfordview

This year for Mother’s Day, the wife wanted a proper bonding day with the little man ❤️
So we headed to Pasture & Plate in Roodepoort for a relaxed family outing filled with: 🐰 animal feeding 🐴 pony rides ☕ coffee and snacks 👨‍👩‍👦 quality family time
Honestly… sometimes the simple days end up being the best memories.
Definitely a nice little spot for families with young kids.

Sugar Cone soft serve ice cream. R10 at OK Urban in Dowerglen on Elm Street 🍦
They also have: 🧇 Waffle & Ice Cream for R15
The ice cream was surprisingly creamy, tasty and genuinely good quality for the price.
Considering most places charge around R30–R40 for similar soft serves, this is a really solid value-for-money dessert special.
