'Pretty Damn Good': Man Delivers Food Review During Coronavirus Quarantine at Sydney Hotel

An Australian man who was sent into quarantine at a Sydney hotel delivered an on-camera review of the food he received while in isolation. Alex Mackenzie was sent to the Travelodge Hotel after returning from Japan on May 4. People returning to Australia from overseas https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/hotel-quarantine.aspx were being sent into 14-day quarantine in hotels in a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus. During his quarantine, Mackenzie posted a video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN5oGjj81A4 YouTube giving a rundown of the food provided to him in isolation. "That's actually pretty damn good, I'm pretty happy," Mackenzie says in the video after tasting one dish. Reading from a piece of paper included with the meal, he says the dinner consists of sauteed chicken with fried rice and steamed greens, a bread roll, and a strawberry rhubarb pudding. "Not Uber Eats tonight, don't need that. Got a sufficient meal here paid by Australian tax payers, so thanks for that," Mackenzie says, a reference to his government-paid quarantine.<p>Mackenzie told Storyful that he got three meals and one snack per day. He said the only hot meal of the day was dinner, and the portion was quite small for him. "We do have access to order Uber Eats or Woolworths deliveries at our expense if we want to. For now, the food has been good enough that I have not had to resort to food orders yet," he added. Mackenzie said he would be released on May 17, and he planned to return to his home city of Brisbane. (Footage By Alex Mackenzie/Storyful via Getty Images)
