Wedged between Misty and Movida in the prized piece of inner-city real estate that is Hosier Lane, this new venture from Hugh Thorn (of Misty and Von Haus fame) is an homage to the humble hobo and the America he inhabits.
The menu, like the stylish but pared-back decor, is intentionally basic, with just a few brekkie and lunch options - but the whole point is that what is there is done extremely well. And besides, this is unpretentious, home-style comfort food, a deliberate snub to the fussy, too-cool offerings that surround this place on all fronts in favour of the accessible food that Melbourne is embracing right now.
The signature red beans and rice with collared greens, fetta, smoked ham hock and red onion relish is the embodiment of this style, as are the sandwiches that come with fillings like homemade tinned beetroot, cheese and salad. This is a cool inner-city eatery to warm the heart.
