Incredible meal at Depot last night, even ran into a couple of friends waiting next door for a table as well so joined them - much better in a group there because you can all share a wider range of their food.  Two different types of oysters (Tio Point were extraordinary), turbot sliders, snapper tortilla (possibly my new favorite dish of anywhere), pork hock, brisket, an incredible 8hr baked Sugar Pie that Al Brown had a great story behind, gingerbread with tamarillo.  Finally an Auckland restaurant with decent wine on tap by the carafe.  Al Brown was a great chatty host even given the packed nature of his place.   There was even a great street vibe while waiting for a table - when the hell do we ever get THAT in Auckland?  They also kicked the Prime Minister and his wife out to give us their seats  ;)

Off the top of my head I can’t think of a better meal recently.  New favorite for sure.  And hey, I can go get snapper tortilla for lunch I think…
