The Bottle of Milk - Lorne

As part of our post undergraduate degree celebrations, the squad went down to the Great Ocean for the rowdiest trip of all time. On our last day in Lorne, we went to The Bottle of Milk for lunch. All the menu items looked tasty but I settled for the What a Pickle which had prime beef, tasty cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, house mayo, relish, dill pickles and dijon mustard ($12.50). StophAn and Shomoko got the Nelly ($13.50) and Mingang ordered the Foul Burger ($11.50). 

What a Pickle ($12.50)
FRASHHHHHHHH
 This burger was mintttttttt. It was jam packed with flavour and everything complemented each other. The salad was super frash. The size was massive and it was a struggle to finish but worthhhhh! Tbh there were too many pickles but I didn't mind since they fell out as I was eating it anyways. It would've been amazing if the meat was pink and juicy. 

Nelly ($13.50)

Stoph was a fan of her burger. A honestly can't remember much about his burger but I think that is a fault on his memory rather how av it would've tasted lel. The avocado looked so good tho and I regretted not adding any extra for myself. 

CUCKOOOO CLUCK CLUCK
Mingang's Foul Burger had a chicken schnitzel breast, lettuce, tomato, onion, house mayo and relish in it. She said it was nice but just too much for her as she barely finished half.

Hot Chips ($4.80) w/ Chilli Mayo ($1.50)
The chips were pretty dece with some really good crispy ones. The sauce was a nice accompaniment.
 
OOOF looks appetising az
 
Overall, we had a pretty darn good feed. We actually waited 2 hours for the lunch even though we were starving and it was worth it. It is quite close to the beachfront and then a pier down the road so we had plenty of views to enjoy. The other boys had a few complaints that the meat itself was a bit dry. The burgers were yummy and if you're ever down in Lorne, it is definitely worth a visit!! My fav burgers are still in Melbourne but this is a memorable one.

Bowery to Williamsburg - CBD

Sadly we went to Bowery to Williamsburg before the lunch period so I couldn't get the Reuben Sandwich with the Pickle and Mac & Cheese combo so I settled for a Breakfast Reuben ($12). A got the same as me, Mingang had the Merguez Sausage Shakshouka Baked Eggs w/ Zatar Pita ($18), Stoph got the Hot Smoked Salmon & Fried Egg Bagel ($12) and Shomoko ordered the Vanilla Berry Waffle ($18). 

Breakfast Reuben
My Reuben was frankly pretty disappointing. I've heard rave reviews about the Reuben sandwich so I figured this should be amazing because it was the same flavours. It was far too salty and just sickening to eat towards the end tbh. A was also not a fan.


The smoked salmon was nice but the dill schmear was just a tad too thick for Stoph's liking.

Merguez Sausage
Mingang really enjoyed her dish. We both noted that this is a super generous serving size because the standard baked eggs from other brunch places are usually in served in tiny cast iron pans or cocottes. There were so many eggs which was great!


Shomoko loved her waffles so much she nearly made orgasmic sounds. Shomoko pls. She basically force fed us her waffles and they were indeed on point.


Complimentary Hershey with the coffee, YAY




Overall, it had a couple mixed reviews. While I wasn't a fan of my bagel, everyone thought their meals were decent. Once again, I ordered the least pleasant dish which was no surprise to anyone. It's pretty small inside, since it is mainly one longgggggg bar so I wouldn't say it is ideal for big groups. I would probably give Bowery a miss if I am looking for my next sandwich/bagel fix.
