This country spot is the ‘pub' every town wishes it had on the corner

Squint at the fit-out, the twee kangaroo logo and the sheer terribleness of the name, and You Beauty doesn't exactly scream Good Food Guide Regional Restaurant of the Year. Take the menu the wrong way, and it reads like something you might find at a tourist trap in The Rocks: crocodile, barbecued prawns, lamb ribs, 𝄒roo, steak, chips.
But the kangaroo stamped on the top of the plates here has a tail that just keeps going, wrapping all the way around the border and right back up to the top. This is a reclamation. Cultural cringe come full circle, to the point where in last year's Guide, it was a deserved winner.
The 𝄒roo dish? It's a skewer of wild-shot red kangaroo loin, grilled fast to retain the juice and bounce, then smeared with roasted cashew. Wrap a hunk in a betel leaf, add some pickles, douse it in fish-garum 'crack sauce' (more a nahm jim) and it's a plate for the here and now. The crocodile? Try tail blitzed with soy, ginger and coriander, smeared onto a baguette and fried in a sesame crust a la prawn toast.
The barbecued king prawns, meanwhile, are peeled around the abdomen, then charred, glazed in snapper-bone stock and dusted with seaweed powder. Tear off the head, suck out the goo, then dip and drag the bits through finger lime butter sauce, all elegance and pop.

Cheating CEO's wife takes action after ‘kiss-cam' bust

The wife of the under-siege Astronomer CEO has taken steps to distance herself from the scandal as social media posts and imagery of herself and her family disappear a rapid rate. Lead singer of Coldplay Chris Martin innocently created one of the biggest viral moments in the world this week after the 'kiss-cam' at the band's Boston gig zeroed in on Andy Byron, who is the head of tech giant Astronomer, with his arms draped around a woman.

Either they're having an affair or they're very shy' Martin said to the cheering crowd. The problem was that Mr Byron was hugging the HR boss at Astronomer, Kristin Cabot, who is not his wife. Mr Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron and the couple have two children. Megan and Andy Byron reportedly live in New York with their two sons, and according to social media credits Megan is an Associate Director of Lower School & The Hope Graham Program Admission at the Bancroft School. Her Facebook page now shows that she has dropped her husband's surname, and has been deleting social media posts relating to the couple after a mountain of comments spilled through after her husband's cheating was outed at the concert. Most of Megan Byron's social media presence has now been deactivated and hidden as the barrage of comments continue to flow. '...How awful for the knew and was lying to her face, acting normal. I feel so bad for her. Wake up and find out now the whole WORLD knows your hubs is a lying p...k.', one commenter said. 'Taking the side chick to a Coldplay concert and getting exposed for it by the band itself and it going viral is crazy work,' another commenter wrote. 'I hope his wife divorces him and takes him for everything he has,' another said. Astronomer is a software development company reportedly valued over $1 billion ($AU1.5b) and Andy Byron or the company is yet to release a statement on the alleged affair.
