Any of the Croweaters do that weird thing where they dump a very frigging hot lump of flat rock (type?) on your table and slap a lump of dead cow on top of it? You have to turn it over and then hoe into it. I've only ever seen in in SA (and Mildura). A bit of a take on the Korean barbecue at your table (like the Viet thing TLD described).
Was in the ?Yarra Valley at a bullshit fest all week. One night we went out to a pub (great old place - can't remember the name of the farken town though - I think the pub was The Grand) and because we were a big group we had a set menu. No points for guessing the choices were steak, some vego option and fricking chicken parmy! _________________ 26 March 2011... can't come quick enough.
The Grand Hotel's in Yarra Glen. Like the Healesville Hotel, a top pub fucking ruined by wine-bibbing Prado-driving wankers on winery tours. Now you'd get food involving the words 'bruschetta' 'rocket' 'infused' and 'tuscan'. To be avoided. The only good pubs now is one in Healesville that the local timber-cutting hillbillies drink at, and anything in Lilydale. _________________ Get a fucken move-on

'notch, your mention of the hillbilly pub reminds me of the Newnes Hotel, when it still had a licence and was a real pub. No poofy mains power, the beer was kept cold by a kero-powered fridge! And the taps (which were present & very classically old, but quite unused for some years)....waddaya want poofy beer taps for? Here mite, geddafuckencanorstubbieindia!
And it was frequented by some interesting characters. Lobbing in there one day with a friend who just happened to be wearing a flanno & braces, one bloke looked at my mate, looked at his mate and bellowed, "Well he's got the checked shirt, he's got the braces......but can he play Deliverance on the banjo?"

Now that was a great pub, even to a 5 year old (or something). Back when my parents were in scouting we'd be up there a couple of times a year, in fact my we were a part of the group that build the rock dam (which probably did immense ecological damage until ot was washed out by a flood in the late 90's). Been there a couple of times as an adult but they'd long since lost/not bothered renewing their licence, and last time I was up there only about 1/4 of it was open as a kiosk, and at that time it was for sale, along with a ridiculously large parcel of land, for half a mill. As I understand it they're going to put some wanky resort there to ruin one of the best camping grounds in NSW. _________________ It's Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees - Oils.

Everything about pubs is fucked nowadays. You have to get at least 200km away from Sydney or Melbourne, and even then you take your chances.
Last decent pub in Sydney was Henry the IX in the Hilton Hotel... but they went and fucking got rid of it with the renos didn't they? Cunts.
There are still a couple of OK places in The Rocks. You boys would LOVE The Pallisade! The Glenmore isn't too bad either.

Sounds like a top pub. An unlikely find in the middle of Chatswong*.
I have heard it called "Cha-woo" as well.

BOLLOCKS! Give me a greasy "Butha's" kebab from Banksia at 3am on a Saturday morning any day... and they watch the punters finish off their kebab and go to the brothel next door.

Also used to be a joint in Therox called Phillip's Foote, where you paid for the privilige of self-steak carbonization. That was back in the Yaties (before mosta yucunce were borned ), and you're right Skraw, it weren't perticklerly cheap, even if you were paying for the shitty salad and dead cow. Of course, Phillip's Foote wasn't a pub per se, you had to be a diner to sink piss there. Pretty sure it's lawn gawn now.......
No my under water friend. Ze Fill Eeps Foote still be there.
I tend not to go for steaks in pubs. But before I get Apparatus™-ed for insolence there is a decent reason: Old Man Dash is a butcher, so I have been brought up on the really good stuff. Tend not to go for any steak unless it gets his seal of approval. Still get my meat from him to this day - quality and the nepotism discount don't hurt none.
Mrs Dash does the best Parma I have had... in the comfort of my own home as well! She also puts enough chilli on it to make me start listening to "Ring of Fire" the next day. Gawd bless her little cotton socks. _________________ 42 years and won fuck-all
