Went to the Melbourne Showground Farmers Market today. Got some Golden Nugget Pumpkin, Lemon Cucumber, Golden Baby Beets and College Challenger Tomatoes. We are almost finished with our new menu.  It's a change in direction for us between Monday - Friday. We'll post some pics over the next week of our new sandwiches, bagels, toasties & baguettes. We're thinking of adding a Rainbow Salad Sandwich to the menu, hence the Golden Baby Beets and potentially Lemon Cucumber along with some other bright vegies.

Already underway are:

Warialda Beef Pastrami & Pecorino Toastie
Holy Goat Goats Cheese & Pesto Toastie
Gruyere, Pecorino & Fontina Toastie
Croque Monsieur - Ham, Gruyere, Bechamel & Dijon

Hook & Spoon Slow Cooked Mutton & Pickle Vegies Fresh Sandwich
Lemongrass infused Tempeh with Carrot, Daikon, Mayonnaise Fresh Sandwich
Balsamic Roasted Tomato, Basil & Shaw River Buffalo Mozzarella Fresh Sandwich
Granny Smith Apple, Peyangana Cheddar, Housemade Onian Jam & Cos Lettuce Fresh Sandwich

Chicken Waldorf Bagel

A few more to come like:
Roast 'Warialda Beef' with Dead Man Chutney, Mushroom Duxelle & something else?? Not sure yet. Got a few ideas. 

And of course:
Thomas Keller's BLT with Pork Belly, Spinach Puree & Gazpacho on Brioche


We're looking for different variety tomatoes to form part of the Chargrilled Bread Panmolle with Old English Sausages and Poached Eggs.. a very tasty & hearty breakfast dish. Currently we're using Mountain Ox Heart Heirloom Tomatoes but will test the juicy College Challengers tomorrow. 

Look forward to seeing everyone in the new year. I'm sure you'll love our beautiful new lunch menu. Also available as take away.
