    Food outlets

    There is a definite lack in this country of greasy spoon cafes/burger wagons. If I win the lotto, will start some up.

    There's the one by the Welly Railway Station, and that was up for sale just recently.

    I believe there is a moratorium on establishing new ones, as fixed location establishments who pay big rents get a bit pissed off.

    There's also one in Newmarket in Auckland. Or at least there was.

    Anyone remember 'Gordon Blue' which used to be located on the vacant lot that now has the Reading Cinema's on Courtney Place?

    Have you not yet found The Green Parrot on the corner of Taranaki & Wakefield Streets? A veritable institution. They even supply plates of buttered white bread with Worchestershire sauce to festoon upon it while you wait for your cholesterol surprise or deep-fried coronary.

    It could be a good venue for a future KB lunch...

    Is The Parrot open for lunch? I thought it only opened up late?

    Funny.. I thought about that today.. building tuckshop wagons like the ones in the States... Be a good little earner if you hit the right spots... and moveable is good too...

    Still is, they do very well for themselves. There was another wagon associated with them, called the White Lady or something; used to be on Shortland St but I think it had to shift around the corner or something.

    Damn I'm hungry now. Pricks.

    Reminds me of the Pie Carts we used to go to on Friday & Saturday night.....most of them knew how to make real Burgers....yummy. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it....Bring back the the Pie Carts

    I've learned... that to ignore the facts does not change the facts

    Do you seriously expect me to believe that these politicians would implement policy based on nothing more than bullshit......
