I Ragazzi, Vienna, Austria


I ragazzi, ristorante and pizzeria where most of the staff actually is Italian. For some UK expats known to me, it is the home of the best pizza in Vienna. Nothing short of a strong recommendation.


Kevin Redmond - managing channel for IBM Software Group in CEMAAS. Currently based in Vienna, but could once call himself a citizen of many other places: Bath, Marchington, Harrogate, Edinburgh, Tokio, Hong Kong, Madrid and Barcelona - too name but a few. Travels a lot on business and if mice play when the cat's away, females are actually way more productive when the guy's not at home. He doesn't like everything about Never Eat Alone book. Maybe it's the fault of cold fire or dry fish tank looming from the LCD TV while he's reading. He has that ambient DVD. He also has tons of his own hi-res cooking photos that he might issue in his own book via Blurb. Good food + good wine = Kevin. One day he will buy Bordeaux. The whole region, that is.


Natalie Dew - cute Taiwanese-Swedish mix working for STEC, provider of solid state storage drives, such as the one used in the new MacBook Air. IF "Natalie loves good food" AND "Kevin = good food" THEN ... you do the math. Spends a lot of time following food&cooking related blogs. Born and raised in Uppsala, lived in Hottingen in Germany, Taipei in Taiwan where her dad's from, Stockholm and now in Vienna. According to a Fast Cash book, Serbian mafia in Stockholm is not to be underestimated. One day she will have a pig, a dog and a goat. A brown goat, that is. Raising them in Bordeaux?
