d Hello Joburgers!I am greatly honored and privileged to present to you our special 35th Birthday
issue of Hello Joburg magazine.
Hello Joburg was first published in 1980 by my father, Joseph Spinner after moving to South Africa from Israel. As a foreign resident in a city that was extremely unfamiliar to him, my father was always looking for new and exciting places to visit to help familiarize himself with the city and its people.
Now you must remember that in 1980 there was no Google where one would simply type “Restaurants in Joburg” and a list of over 1000 restaurants would appear. Noticing the lack of reliable and up-to-date sources of information for foreigners and even for locals, my father decided to launch a monthly print magazine showcasing the very best restaurants, shopping and leisure destinations in Joburg. Presto! A quintessential Joburg brand was born!
In this months issue we have showcased South Africa’s history and highlighted various editions of Hello Joburg that were published during these iconic moments. Take a look at pages ten and eleven for a timeline of SA’s history, from the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990 to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
We’ve had the pleasure of sitting down with The Maslow Hotel’s new Executive Chef Jason Millar to find out what inspires and motivates him to stay in love with the high intensity of a hotel kitchen.
This month’s edition is jam packed with loads of innovative, interesting and exciting activities to keep you entertained. Why not head on down to The Lion Park and visit their new baby giraffe, Elsa who has stolen the hearts of everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her.
I hope that you enjoy the same pleasure out of reading this month’s 35th Birthday issue as my team and I have had in compiling it. Thank you to our readers and clients who have helped establish a proudly South African brand 35 years in the making!
From a true Joburger, #lovejozi

View RestaurantTHE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL THE WESTCLIFF
When you visit The Four Seasons Hotel it is sure to be love at first sight.
I was treated to the View Restaurant as one of the very first Joburgers to try out the brand new menu. Signature cuisine and simple, charming food with a modern twist is what you can expect.
The Menu is set in four or five courses with the option of wine pairing with each course. First course is the beautiful Amuse Bouche: marinated local salmon trout with champagne jelly and green asparagus. Moving on to the carrots, prepared in different textures with roasted Mozambique prawns and coriander pesto, paired perfectly with the Spice Route Viognier 2013. Third course and my personal favourite is the Roma tomato consommé with black crab ravioli, ricotta dumplings and fresh basil - innovative, attractive and delectable.
Dessert connoisseurs will enjoy the rich banana and peanut parfait with Jivari chocolate, caramelized popcorn and milk tart gel (heaven) or perhaps the Champagne and white peach jelly, plum ripple Tahitian vanilla ice cream, meringue and pomegranate. It seems when Chef Dirk Gieselmann ditched his engineering studies to embark on his food journey and apprenticeship he did us all a big favour. Having previously worked at famed Michelin three-star Auberge de l’Ill restaurant in Illhauesern in France’s Alsace region, we cannot help but celebrate him and welcome him with open arms (and mouths.)Four courses R950 / with wine pairing R1550.

ANYONE CAN BE A BAG LADY...
With Mother’s Day on the horizon, it can often be a real challenge to buy a gift
for a cutting-edge Jozi mom. What’s better than a super trendy handbag? People often ask us what the ‘rules’ are for handbags? What part of the outfit must they match? Must your handbag match your shoes? Must it match your belt? We believe it is a stand alone item and needs to make statement on its own. A bag expresses personality and needs to be suited to the occasion. We hunted down some of Jozi’s hottest handbags to give you some ideas.
Another range we love is the AnniKing line of bags. Elegance meets simplicity in a collection of trendy seasonal colours. Available from Keys Fashion, 4th Avenue, Parkhurst.
We’re thrilled that Irish designer, Orla Kiely’s bags are available
from the Hermanna Rush store in the Parks Centre on Jan Smuts
Avenue. Fun retro prints with a sophisticated edge!
Oreo Pop-Up CaféSo sorry Cape Town but this ones ours! (Mwahahahaha!) Hello Joburgers get excited because the Oreo Pop Up Café has landed! Located in Rosebank Mall (Opposite Burger King) the Oreo café is only a pop-up, which means it will only be with us for one month. Unless we all sign a petition, guaranteeing a longer stay. Who’s with me?
We can all thank pâtissier Danielle Postma of Moemas for creating the Oreo-inspired treats. Think Yo-Sushi but without the sushi. Replace the Sushi Bar with an Oreo bar! That’s correct, a conveyor belt stacked with white chocolate Oreo fudge, white chocolate cheesecake, popcorn stacks, cookie monster cupcakes, Oreo chocolate truffles, ice-cream sandwiches, ice-cream sundaes and even ice-cream milkshakes. Get in my faysh! Yum Yum Yum!
All the snacks range from R10 - R40 and just by the way Oreos are vegan so they’re kinda healthy too. Winning! #PlayWithOreo
The café opened on April 2nd and will stay open until the first week of May. So don’t miss out on this tantalizing experience with the world’s number one biscuit!www.playwithoreo.com
SA FASHION WEEK- SPRING/SUMMER 2015
What: The hottest ticket in town: South African Fashion Week
Where: The Crowne Plaza Johannesburg, The Rosebank Hotel
When: 18-21 March 2015
Our favourite designers: Black by Black Coffee; Amanda Laird Cherry; Colleen Eitzen; LunarClive by Clive Rundle; Afrikanswiss; Fundudzi by Craig Jacobs; Rubicon; Keys Fashion; Sies!IsabelleSun Goddess; ERREIt was all things fun, fabulous and flirty as we celebrated SA Fashion Week. “What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language.” And if this year’s SS15 runway shows were anything to go by, we certainly understood the mother tongue. It all began by being spoiled with goodie bags including Rimmel London make-up, Africology skincare, SKIP, and TRESemme products and of course Jameson on tap. The designers gave a splendid introduction to their latest collections - balancing innovation and creativity. Bravo to self-expression and emerging designers. SA Fashion Week has certainly cemented itself as an important platform for local artistry. T @SAfashionweek for all the updates
