Ah, Melbourne! City of walks by the river, graffiti filled alleyways, secret bars and the best all vegetarian beef burgers. Um what?
But at Lord of the Fries, that’s what they do. Fries, soy “chicken” nuggets and burgers made from vegetable protein patties. The first time I went, like many others I’m sure, thought I was getting a big beef burger. I raved about how juicy it was till I was about halfway through when my eyes scanned their informative monthly newsletter and I died of surprise when ’100% vegetarian’ popped out at me. Tricked good!
I know there are probably a thousand great reasons to be vegetarian, animal rights and sustainability being only two of them. I’ve been becoming increasingly vegetarian lately and I love that this place satiates meat cravings and no four legged creatures are harmed in the process. You know how certain burgers taste so good when and only when you’re drunk? These are that nomnomnom even when sobriety calls. But if you’re drunk, they’re open till 2am and 5am on Friday and Saturday nights.
