The Dip at GOODGOD, Sydney
20 May 2011, 03:30
Do the dip yo! Wednesday saw the opening of The Dip at GOODGOD Bar & Small Club (55 Liverpool St, Chinatown, Sydney). After stalking Dan Hong’s tweets, I randomly stumbled onto a crazy-ass blog by Andrew Levins and remember being mesmerised by a pic of a whole table of hot dogs topped with perfect mustard squiggles. It was at that moment that I realised there was an incredible lack of hot dogs in my life.
Luckily The Dip looks set to increase my hot dog consumption with thanks to @levdawg and the beautiful Bianca of Sandwichface fame.
Helen and I had arrived bright and early to the launch of The Dip and managed to nab a booth which curiously felt like something right out of the Flintstones. Grilled corn on the cob with a lime mayo & chipotle salt is freaking addictive, sweet corn kernels bursting with liquid sunshine and partly tasting like burning (mmm burning) and the lime mayo I could totally have eaten my body weight in. The hand cut fries topped with tomato salsa and white cheese was a great snack with the Kopparberg Cider though would’ve loved it if the cheese was melty? Cmoooon melt!
The squiggle of mustard compels you! Lil Lev’s Dawg- smoked kosher hot dog with chipotle mayo, fresh tomato salsa, grilled yellow peppers and american mustard on a steamed bun. You know you want one. Make that two.
Dinky Damn Skippy- grilled kangaroo & macadamia burger with beetroot and dill mayo. Normally I am not a fan of kangaroo, finding the meat a tad too gamey but this pattie was light and juicy. Tho I had issues with the macadamia bits as I have a thing about textures. Burger why you be crunchy?
Woohoo another Levins creation I’d seen and drooled over- 12hr pulled pork sandwich with apple & cabbage slaw and spicy bbq sauce! Nothing is more glorious than a huge chunk of pork being slowly roasted until fork/finger tender. There is just not enough pulled pork in the world right now! And by ‘world’ I mean Sydney. More pulled pork yo!
Mini Cookies N Cream- salted caramel ice cream between two chocolate molasses cookies. Absolutely the most perfect dessert ever but will definitely have to return for the toffee apples!
BAHAHAHA PHOTOBOMB!!! (Check out Levins photobombs here)
Aaaand despite it being a school night I had managed to convince some other humans to get their dancing shoes out cos woot there was a silent disco out the back in the ‘danceteria’!
The silent disco was just freaking awesome! Armed with headphones, we could flick between 2 channels to listen to different djs broadcasting some pretty crazy tunes from Lady Gaga to Prince to Florence and the Machines to Whitney and even the Batman theme song! You have not lived until you’re in a room full of people bouncing around yelling BATMAAAAN haha not sure if the silent disco event will return (please please please) but it was gold.
Back to home
Woohoo what an awesome night! I loved the bizarre mix of music! Oh gawd pleeease bring back Silent Disco!
— Karen | C&C May 20, 05:05 AM #Wow! This is the first time I’ve heard about silent disco. Never tried it before probably in my room but not in a public place. It sure is interesting!
Thanks for sharing!

— Chanel May 20, 11:20 AM #There is definitely a severe lack of hot dogs and pulled pork in my life (i.e. my belly). This needs to change.

— Christy May 20, 11:46 AM #Hot damn this all looks good!
— Emily@NeedsMoreSugar May 20, 11:55 AM #The silent disco was awesome fun and I could’ve eaten a dozen of those ice cream sandwiches. Salted caramel bliss! And that corn. I like the taste of burnnnnning…
— Helen (grabyourfork) May 20, 12:00 PM #The mustard sure does look compelling!
— Dressed and Eaten May 20, 12:26 PM #Silent disco! You crazy kids! I’m more interested in the freaking tasty looking food at this place…YUM! The corn looks ZOMG good, and I want that pulled pork burger now.
— Miss Piggy May 20, 12:57 PM #That place looks so cool!
— Susan May 20, 01:39 PM #Ahhh I’m so sad I couldn’t join you guys! Looks like much fun and the music sounds like it’s better than the last silent disco we went to haha
— Jacq May 20, 02:40 PM #I was salivating over the pulled pork sandwich with apple & cabbage slaw and spicy bbq sauce the other night on sandwichface. Good to know that they are attainable now that I know where to get one. Thanks for sharing this one, I’m going to sublimely happy when I get my hands on one :)
— Dumpling Girl May 20, 04:03 PM #it’s the first time i’ve been in a Silent Disco. was pretty funny :-)
— Simon Food Favourites May 20, 04:06 PM #Ohhh, that corn. How I want it inside me forever. (Well, not forever, because that would probably be very bad for my digestive tract.)
— Hannah May 20, 11:36 PM #I haven’t been so excited to visit a place in a long time! The mini cookies and cream looks so good and the silent disco looks like crazy fun!
— Jen May 20, 11:38 PM #I had heard along the foodie grapevine that hot dogs were on their way back ‘in’, I guess it’s true! This place looks fantastic, love the ice cream sandwiches for dessert!
— Keely aka The Richest Girl in Bondi May 21, 02:16 AM #Hot dogs! <3
Silent disco looks like such fun. Want to to go to one some time!
— L May 21, 11:31 PM #Must be so weird watching people dance if you’re not hooked into the music as well.
There can never be enough pulled pork in this world! :)
— Simon @ the heart of food May 22, 01:12 AM #OH JOY! its about time Sydney has good hot dogs! Double yay because this is so near my place :) super stoked!!
— Helena @ foodyphile May 23, 02:50 AM #I have some corn, will try and make the lime mayo and chipotle salt! It all looks scrumptious and loving the look of the disco :)
— muppy May 23, 11:50 AM #hehe so much fun!
— hollypop May 23, 02:09 PM #i was there on the weekend – those booths definitely have a flintstone feel.
I love the retro neon lights and mini sliders and burgers. They’re just the perfect bite. Definitely have to pay this place a visit! :)
— Jenny (minibites) May 23, 04:07 PM #whoohhh silent discooooo
— sugarpuffi May 23, 06:55 PM #That corn and those hotdogs look damn tasty! And silent disco sounds awesome too – would live to try it out :)
— jack May 23, 11:31 PM #are the hotdogs/burgers tiny or are they normal sized but look like they should be miniature? do you know what i mean??? :) the grilled corn looks yummo!
— catty May 24, 03:37 AM #ooooh what fun indeed!
— Lisa May 24, 10:05 AM #The squiggle of mustard on the hotdogs is such a neat trick to whet the appetite especially if I’m starved!!
— chopinandmysaucepan May 24, 03:45 PM #Silent discos are awesome! I went to one at BDO last year and its so damn fun. Its hilarious hearing everyone sing along to channel 2 while you’re listening to channel 1 lols
— Nic@diningwithastud May 25, 02:13 PM #Haven’t been to Goodgod in years, they def didn’t have silent disco back then. Silent disco has been a regular fixtures at music festivals for donkeys years now, but they always used to be playing trance which is pretty isolating at the best of times. This silent disco music sounds heaps more fun! The new food looks like a winner too.
— forager @ The Gourmet Forager May 30, 11:08 AM #Can’t wait to try it looks fantastic
