Our post-exams celebration was originally going to be at Hardware Societe, but unfortunately a fire at the adjacent building last night will be putting it out of business for a while. Instead, we went to Manchester Press. The 12-hour Roasted Pulled Pork w. Lettuce, BBQ Sauce and Home Made Appleslaw contained a very large serving of pork, which was soft and slightly sweet, and the bagel was dense, chewy and lightly toasted. Because of the amount of pork and denseness of the bagel, I wasn't able to finish all...

I went to Curtin House rooftop in the hopes that Beatbox Kitchen Rooftop was still open, but at the moment the rooftop is home to All Day Burgers. I've decided that my taste buds aren't all that excited by beef, mustard and pickles so if I eat a burger like that I have to know it's something special before I try it. It seemed to be quite popular, but because I didn't know anything about All Day Burger at that stage, I headed off to have Huxtaburger's Denise...

When the Mr Burger food truck is at Therry St it can be found in a laneway across the road from the Queen Vic Deli. The menu is simple, having only three burger options: Mr Burger, Mr Meat and Mr Veg. The Mr Burger comes with a beef pattie, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard, mayo and tomato sauce. It came half-wrapped in foil, which helped to contain the burger, particularly the cheese, and keep my hands clean. With the mustard and pickles it was a lot like eating...

A 2-hour group assignment meeting quickly morphed into a 5-hour long no-breaks marathon where people were starting to become hangry but also wanted to get the assignment over and done with. By the time we finished, I was concerned that Chuckle Park would no longer be serving their famed pulled pork rolls, which apparently sometimes sell out. Fortunately they were, despite it being nearly 4pm, and I had the pleasure of tucking into a crusty white roll packed with (tumeric?) spiced, slow-cooked pork. The coleslaw gave the roll...

At the moment, Captain Melville is having a special on Mondays and Tuesdays where their burger and parma are reduced to $17. The idea is that people would vote on their favourite, and the winning dish will continue to the next round. I'm not a fan of parmas and what I really came here to eat was the Captain's burger (wagyu, bacon, cheese, Yarra Valley egg, pickles, soft bun, hand cut chips, normally $21). The only modification I made was to have only one slice of cheese instead of two,...
