#Grilld on #CarlisleStreet

Looks like the new Grill'd on Carlisle Street, Balaclava (#EastStKilda) is off to a positive start. There are so many places to eat along this strip now, so opening it back up to a chain eatery is an interesting move.

There was a time when KFC and Red Rooster used be on Carlisle Street, and the only real major chain food store was, and still is, Subway.

Grill'd do have great burgers, which some people have said are a bit over-priced, but if you have not yet tried, it might be worth giving them a go if you live nearby.

 

It is a shame, however, that several small independent businesses and shop were sacrificed to make room for the relatively large burger venue, but time will tell whether locals will continue to like it for the long term. For now, it is something new and exciting.

It's #StKildaFestival Today!

Hope you're all ready for it! It's going to be a fun day.

Las Chicas All Day Breakfast

The #café called #LasChicas on #CarlisleStreet, right at #BalaclavaTrainStation is one place along this strip to get an All Day Breakfast.

 

Today's order was Poached #Eggs with #SmokedSalmon. It was nice enough even though the eggs were a tad on the small side. The service was good though. All the guys were really friendly which made for a pleasant experience overall.

McHappy Day @ St Kilda McDonalds

Get down to McDonalds St Kilda for McHappy Day and you might see the Mix101.1 team there playing games and giving out prizes.

 

But apart from that, it's a great cause because $2 from every Big Mac sold goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
