Australia are sitting atop the medal tally for a second straight day as the controversy leading up to the Olympics has been quickly forgotten by watching athletes compete for glory. There has been tragedy, heartbreak, spirits lifted and broken. It’s the sort of spectacle that just makes you hungry…
Because let’s be honest, we’re not all athletes. But our physique shoudn’t have any impact upon our taste buds. Perhaps some of us harbor the same competitive drive that takes athletes around the globe, to pit ourselves against the best cuisine in the world?
Well, strap in and prepare to chase that Gold Medal dream with our guide to celebrating the Olympics by trying to eat at as many restaurants that represent the countries competing at the games as possible.
You heard us; it’s an Olympic Games of Eating!
