Earlier this summer the Travel Channel ran a series featuring Dhani Jones, a linebacker with the Cincinnati Bengals. Each week Dhani visited a different country to research and participate in very physical sports practiced by natives of the countries he visited. He did some ultimate fighting in Bangkok, he entered a series of lifesaving games/events in Australia, and the one I'm interested in...he teamed up with some America's Cup sailors in Auckland to work out and winch grind in a regatta.
In one part of the episode, he went to lunch with his shipmates at a seafood restaurant in Auckland. The food looked great. They devoured a massive mixed seafood platter. My question is, did anyone else view the episode and do you have any idea what the name of the restaurant is. I know there are a number of seafood places right at the Auckland harbor (or should I say harbour) Can anyone help?? Bob

We have not seen the programme down here, but it sounds as if it was all arranged and set up for the filming and they would have really turned it on big for him.
There are lots of Restaurants in the area where your ship will dock. Its called the Viaduct area http://www.viaduct.co.nz/restaurant.php One of the best for seafood is Kermadec, but so it should be as they own one of the largest fishing fleets

Thanks for the clue. I actually TIVO'd the episode and have viewed it closely several times looking for some indication of which restaurant it was. No luck. Maybe someone will read this who saw the show and had actually been there. The viaduct area is what I have suspected and I have been making a list of the many places there to explore.
