\"\"Ever since I reviewed Chef Bertus Basson\u2019s Spek & Bone dive of a restaurant in Stellenbosch in July last year, Basson has been on a mission to discredit me as a reviewer, not being man-enough to accept my honest feedback. Last week I popped in at his latest eatery, De Vrije Burger, a hamburger and ice cream joint, on Plein Street in Stellenbosch, the take-away outlet being far below the standard of his Eat Out Top 10 award stature! One wonders why he is scraping the barrel with cheap and nasty restaurants, when he started off with the top level Top 10 Overture restaurant, his first! Each new restaurant, of his five restaurants, is one level below the previously opened one in terms of quality!  <\/b><\/p>\n

Restaurant Review: Spek en Bone has no bacon nor beans, little SA cuisine, crap in most respects<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
