I know it has been an extremely long time since my last post, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge in the last 12 months. I used to laugh when my mum would say "time goes faster as you get older" but now I get it!
So, before any more fast moving time goes by, it's back to the blog. And what better time to restart than during the deep of winter. With the Ugg boots on, the heater cranked and the footy on the TV (we are in Melbourne remember) here's what's been happening South of the Yarra this week...........
As the last of the autumn leaves fall and the sky turns grey my mind turns to the warm comfort food of winter. And for consistently good food and coffee in a cosy environment it comes no better than at Mr.Burch in McKinnon. I know, I know, I have reviewed this cafe in McKinnon road before but I just can't go past its ever changing specials board and awesome coffee. They source their ingredients locally, cook on premises and endeavour to be a sustainable business by recycling and composting. And for these reasons, I drive across suburbs to reach this cafe. This week I sampled the baked potato, served with home made baked beans, sour cream and bacon and partnered perfectly with a glass of El Nino Shiraz from the Victorian Pyrenees. Warming to the soul.
Since my last posting on Mr.Burch they have converted the upstairs area to another dinning room with a fireplace which is great as this cafe continues to become more and more popular. And be sure to check our their website as they often exhibit artworks by local artists. All details, including opening hours, menus and current events can be found at (www.mrburch.com.au).
