Let’s all line up like sheep

Can someone please tell me, are Top Paddock, Friends of Mine and Pillar of Salt that much better than every other café in Melbourne?

I think the answer is they aren’t.  These type of venues are the Kim Kardashians of the Melbourne Café culture.  Famous for being famous.

I walked past Top Paddock this morning, (on my way back from having an amazing Breakfast at Einstein’s Relative) and there would have been no less than 50 people, standing around on the street waiting for a table.. What the hell are you all doing queuing like sheep for these average venues? I get it, its Melbourne, we all think we’re food experts, but I honestly believe these places have lines, because they have lines.

I can see it now, 30 something South Yarra in her active wear arranges breakfast with the girls “Ohh that XXX place has a line got a line, it must be good, let’s wait 30 minutes for a table and get a decidedly average feed with less than average service.”   So Melbourne.

Get at me if you want me to let you know 20 better places for breakfast that don’t have 30 minute lines of wankers with their French Bulldogs. They all allow you to pay on card and smile when they serve you.
