Ooh, as a guy who has known and loved good souvlaki from Oakleigh, Lygon St, and even Footscray... this is one of the things I miss about living in Adelaide. There's a good collection of Greeks here, and I'm friends with quite a few of them. But SA Greeks just don't have that style of the souvlaki; where the lamb is hot, salty and bursting out from the pitabread, with the garlic sauce blending with your drool in your mouth, and the refreshment of the lettuce and the tomato...

Where are the good souvas in Footscray?? I live there - haven't found any. my favourite is CBD Kebab in Flinders St.

Technically, I meant Yarraville. Back in my time living there, there was this little caravan stall for souvlaki at the petrol station on the corner of Willy and Francis... (come to think of it, it might have been a kebab, rather than a souvlaki..). While certainly not the same as Lygon or Oakleigh, it was pretty darn good.

Busted

Not Footscray
Not a souvlaki

Souvlaki Bros in Glenelg goes alright!

Thanks for the tip, Sav! I've been meaning to try Yiros Brothers in Blackwood - I go up there for Pilates with the wife every Tuesday night, so we could definitely give it a go.

I'll try it next week. Will bring report.

I'm a Vic - so I'm not an expert on SA's food scene - but no trip to Glenelg is complete without a trip to that store.

Try a few different combos - they haven't let me down so far

So we've seen the players zone, but if I was to go down to Melbane to watch a game or whatever, would I be able to have a session and have a Saturday on the punt there or what?
(Assuming the game wasn't on Saturday but maybe Saturday night, and I was cashed up because I'd jagged a $38 winner at morpetville?)

Kebab Zone in Yarraville, at the petrol station is amazing! i go there nearly every week on the way home after a big night

Dropped into Moorabbin this arvo on my way thru.......further concrete was being poured for the base slab of the Northern wing.
They about 3/4 of the way thru with that slab......the base of that wing covers an enormous area.

The first steel beams/cross beams were up .....2 floors worth......and just that looked an imposing sight.

Looking at that makes you realize just how big the whole complex will be.

It was a hive of activity down there.

Due to the great weather we have had thru Winter,the complex may in fact be completed ahead of schedule......here's hoping.

Love the regular updates mate...great for those who can't get to the ground.

Thanks George.....

I'm down in Moorabbin a couple of times each week.....so I'll post updates on the project with anything new that I see or that I think will interest people.

I am just so passionate about the project.....it's part of our future and it will be so important for the club.

We are incredibly fortunate that Prez and Matt could get this off the ground.......I remember Prez saying last year that he didn't imagine in his wildest dreams that given our finances......that we could get something of this magnitude up and running.

We certainly couldn't have done it by ourselves.

It's good info for everyone anywhere in Aust who never go near the ground or lives near the ground.

The club must know I'm up to something....the last 2 posts I did on the ground....the club released an update video that day both times.....what are the odds.......lol.

Kalimeri in Oakleigh has the best souvas I have ever had

 

[Pardon me]

Been to Meat Me?
Fmd....mind you, anywhere in oakleigh is good

Yes I agree with you but it is hard to try another place when Kalimeri is so good

 

[CHBench]

Orexi is underrated. Do need more seats though

 

[Persevering Saint]

Stop it... I'm drowning in my own drool over here...

Be awesome if you could grab some photos next time you're down there, would love to see what it looks like

Playing footy today against Moorabbins side at their ground nearby.

Going to stop by and take a look at progress if I can

I too miss a good souvlaki and even crave steamed Dim Sims in soy sauce. In Perth I'm yet to find either , and apart from a great Italian place in South Perth , you could take the next best Italian place , drop it into Lygon street , and it would be the worst one in the street. Restuarants/ Eateries here suck.

 

[Saint Watto]

Dropped by Moorabbin again this arvo.............things are absolutely powering along.

-The final 1/4 of the North Wing base was being prepared for the concrete pour.

-The Steel framing skeleton now covers about 1/2 of the North wing base.....it's massive.

-Large 2 story concrete slabs for the lift are now in position.

-Brick layers were starting on the side wall at the East side of the wing.

I'll see if I can get some pics up.

Some of the work going on today
