Ric'  offered sponsorship in THE 2008 BEST of the BEST - Pizza Challenge. 

MAIIA: Ive washed enough dishes over the years to know chefs -an Ric can cook,  it's no surprise to locals - Little Ricardo's Pizzeria and Trattoria  in Sheridan St is voted Cairn's best pizza.  Same as Beethovens- best sandwhich.   The city is behind local business,  it's great too for visitors to be told what's happening, steada being shunted round like mugs.   We need em to have a fabulous time!  We all like genuine friendly service, and quality. 

2007 - PIZZA CHALLENGE - Queensland Hospitality Industry Conference and Expo. 

Everyone's right behind Ric' -it's amazing, even the mainstream media.  It's well deserved recognition- you'd be surprised just what subtle artistry goes into the humble pizza.   Seen Ric there personally seeing to the correct storage of the basil.  LOL- they all say only the finest ingredients, but this region has wonderful markets.  I can't recommend highly enough the difference fresh herbs make.

Little Ricardo's in one of it's incarnations was right next-door to the world-famous Johno's Blues Bar.

Ric's also supports local artists... Rom Stover has a Ned Kelly in there.  It's great- looks like it would have been fun to create, and more in his rock 'n' roll persona than the fine-art studies I'm familiar with.  

Maiia "Ric' asked me if I wanted to do one,  but -no rainforest, nothing in particular, something abstract.  A picture of nothing, which with my philosophical approach - poses too many questions.  Exactly which nothing is the something I wanna explore?"    Bill has offered to do a Jackson Bollock.     (Watched DVD - "Who the *&%# Is Jackson Pollock"  last night.)
