  "account": "A Queensburgh food and travel blogger, Ericco Govender, embarked on a mission to find unique bunny chows in Durban. Govender, 29, was surprised to discover that Happy Chappy, a 37-year-old restaurant in North Beach, had created an innovative bunny-with-a-twist menu. He tried several bunnies, including a chicken breyani bunny, a tinned fish and boiled egg bunny, a lamb shank roast bunny, a samp and chops bunny, a breakfast bunny with curried baked beans, sausages, bacon, eggs, and chips, a braai bunny with sausages, chops, and chips, and a funny bunny with mutton curry, kebab, sausages, and chips. Govender was impressed with the flavors, stating that the bread was soaked in gravy before being filled with the breyani, making each bite delicious. Happy Chappy's owner, Jay Naidoo, introduced the bunny menu to attract customers and create a buzz around his business, as he wanted a tasty meal to satisfy his craving for breyani. Other unique bunnies on the menu include an ice cream bunny and various other creative combinations. Naidoo claims that the bizarre ideas have drawn curious customers and gained popularity, particularly after being tried by social media influencers.",
