You want to know about Melbourne Charcoal Chicken? They’re dead to me. I live opposite, and I’ve got a weakness for, well, laziness, so I’ve been here quiet a bit. Their chicken’s always been awful; dry and salty and tasteless. Until recently, though, I was happy enough dropping by to pick up a small chips. But not any more. Here’s what happened. I dropped by in the afternoon, ordered a small chips and gravy, asked for the gravy in a separate container, sat back to wait. Cop comes in after me, orders after me(chicken, chips and salad, from memory). Gets served before me, with what I can only assume are my chips. But fine, whatever. Cops always get priority, it’s how the world works. But then, they try to charge me six dollars or so for the small chips and gravy, claiming that because the gravy is in a 5c plastic container it’s now worth an extra two dollars. Never again. I’m sounding like a crazy person, aren’t I? Seriously, their chips are alright, the rest of what they have to offer is pretty poor.
