Birthday dinner was underwhelming. Great place, food was quality...but left kind of hungry.

I picked the joint so can't be too mad.

Still had a blast with the family.

The hollow leg curse. Years ago a friend offered me all I could eat taco bill for my birthday for me n a mate. I'm 6'2" he's 6'5". She cut us off after two entrees and two mains. We went elsewhere afterwards for a bit more food. Next week she came into my bar where she got free beer and I cut her off after two. Payback.

Happy birthday! I also had an underwhelming food experience today, a new fancy sandwich place which I was excited to try but ended up being very mid. Hurts when it’s expensive. It happens.

Name and shame...we live in the same hood (give or take).

I was in Footscray, Crumbz Deli. I leaned today that Footscray is for viet food not sandwich deli’s.

Good to know.

And Footscray is good for African food too.

Honky good though...not so much.
