International guests at Liz at Lancaster often ask about where to go to eat really local food. In this age of globalization and fusion food, there are few options.  But here’s a fun one with a difference – real street food - a tshiya nyama meal along with local jazz and art work at  The Braai Shack (TBS). It’s [...]
