breakfast at Gutz on Brunswick St
Gutz cafe is one of the quiet achievers on Brunswick St. It"s not full of cool kids comparing sneakers. Like Alimentari and Sila it attracts a diverse clientele who come for the excellent breakfasts. Every few months I go there because I experience a craving for the menemen, a Turkish scrambled eggs dish with onions, tomatoes and capsicums.
...invasion of the franchises
In 2007 I wrote about the arrival of the convenience shop on Brunswick St near Babka. In 2008 Grill"d opened on Kerr St. Now in 2009 a new franchise chain, Spudbar, is opening in the former pizza place next to Joe"s Garage (it used to be Joe"s pizza, then it became Sammy"s pizza, lowered its standards and went out of business) that has been empty for months.
...top gigs of 2008
2008 was a very good year for music in Melbourne, and I was able to see some of my favourite performers including the Jesus and Mary Chain for the first time. In descending order these were my favourite shows of the year.

dinner at Mon Ami on Nicholson St
Mon Ami is a 16 seat brasserie on the corner of Nicholson St and Moor St on the western edge of Fitzroy. It has a traditional French menu and it specialises in duck. I have been meaning to eat there for a long time, and was treated to a special dinner there last Friday night when my girlfriend made a booking and told me she was taking me out for a surprise dinner. As we began walking in the right direction to go to Mon Ami I became convinced that it was our destination, and I was so pleased when I realised for certain!

Hey there Maniacs,
I've just recently relocated to the fantastic city of Melbourne and have now been entrusted with the task of house-hunting for myself and my fellow housemates.
