Congratulations to Melbourne’s Vue de Monde restaurant, which was namees Restaurant of the Year at last week’s 2009 Savour Australia National Awards for Excellence. A favourite with Melbourne foodies and assorted celebs, Vue de Monde also took out the award for Best Fine Dining Restaurant at Restaurant & Catering Australia’s annual shindig.
I have to admit I haven’t eaten at Vue de Monde but I did see chef and owner Shannon Bennett do a cooking demonstration at a Meat & Livestock Australia function a few years ago. This particular day he was sharing his ideas on utilising less expensive cuts of meat in slow-cooked dishes, a subject after my own heart. What a shame I was too distracted by the chef’s scraggly, unruly, slightly dirty-looking hair to enjoy what he had to say. I don’t have a problem with long hair on men and I’m sure Shannon’s wasn’t actually dirty but I just couldn’t help thinking ‘Dude. Please. Tie it back’. I have no evidence that any of Shannon’s hair has ever ended up in any dish he’s ever cooked but is there anything worse than finding a stray hair in your meal? Personally I find my own hair off-putting enough once it’s no longer attached to my head but someone else’s? Eeuww!

Influence can be defined as the power exerted over the minds and behavior of others. A power that can affect, persuade and cause changes to someone or something. In order to influence people, you first need to discover what is already influencing them. What makes them tick? What do they care about? We need some leverage to work with when we’re trying to change how people think and behave.

Everyone has their favorite way of using the internet. Many of us search to find what we want, click in to a specific website, read what’s available and click out. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it’s efficient. We learn to tune out things we don’t need and go straight for what’s essential.
