The big greasy

Calling all athletes in town for the Commonwealth Games. Eat at Greasy Joe’s (68 Acland Street St Kilda, Australia 3182 +61 3 9525 3755) where gigantic portions are served all day. Plus you can retired to the GJ sports bar next door.
Incredibly, the big breakfast (three eggs, three bacon, two sausage, two hash brown, grilled tomato, button mushrooms, spinach, baked beans and sourdough toast. for $16.80AUD) isn’t the biggest meal on the menu PLUS you can add extras.
The food here doesn’t have the finesse of Mart 130 and the poached eggs are a little overdone.
But this is a St Kilda institution, a vast cavenous space with huge tables and a stylise frieze of St Kilda life.
I’m put off my food by a man opposite excavating his nose and flicking (not his bogies thankfully) through the paper. So there’s a sausage and some bacon in the pocket for the Mungo and Tskui later. Somebody still thinks it’s there.

I knew I forgot a place (or two) when we were in town.
