A New Cannoli Bar with Pedigree, DIY Barbeque at a New Vietnamese Beer Hall, Arbory Afloat's Pool by the Yarra

Plus, an algorithm that makes your face “perfect"  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   [Broadsheet]( 04 September 2019 [This Week]  Hi Melbourne, A tiny cannoli shop from one of city’s best cheesemakers has opened in the south, we peek inside Moon Dog’s wild new brewery before it opens to the public, and Melbourne’s Vietnamese dining scene continues to evolve in the hands of Jerry Mai – she’s just opened a pumping beer hall serving Vietnamese barbeque. Speaking of evolution, at a new NGV show you can stand in front of a webcam and have your face mapped and made "perfect" by an algorithm. It’s part of a mind-bending new exhibition (by a major Australian art star) exploring how technology is affecting our bodies. Plus we’ve got tips for the Affordable Art Show this weekend, and Melbourne’s favourite floating bar is back – bring your bathers, it’s bringing the pool. See you around town.   The best of Broadsheet this week.  [[ ] Food & Drink First look: DIY Vietnamese barbeque and "beer towers" at Jerry Mai’s colourful new diner-slash-beer hall. At the latest eatery from the Annam and Pho Nom chef, tables with built-in hotplates are ready to be loaded up with juicy marinated meats and seafood. Sticky (or fiery) fried chicken features on an excellent snacks list, and the space is adorned with lanterns from Hoi An and old wood shutters from Saigon.]( [[ ] Food & Drink Now open: a tiny cannoli shop in Melbourne’s south (from a family that knows its ricotta). A Scrabble-style menu on the back wall lists the flavours of the day. Delicate tubes of golden pastry come filled with That’s Amore ricotta in traditional flavours and some that are more adventurous. Think Vegemite, salted-caramel popcorn, or peanut butter and jelly.]( [[ ] Art & Design An algorithm that makes your face “perfect” at a dreamy new NGV show.
