the best veggie burger ever!

we went to go to coco loco this afternoon for coffee but when we got there they were closed! we don't know why cuz the hours on saturday say 11am til midnite or something like that and there was no notice saying they'd be closed anywhere on the window either. we figure it might be cuz of the big meridith-like music festival happening on the property in meridith. they probably have a stall at that (that's where we tasted their coffee first) and were short-staffed or something so had to close the shop. we figured since we'd walked all the way up there we might as well do something so we went to the environment shop next to it and picked up some shift (not on their website-- it basically helps break down pet waste into usable garden soil. we're gonna test it out with wombat since she's a pooing machine). then i said that i either needed a veggie burger or coffee before we went home so zac decided veggie burger and we went to jim's take away next to the environment shop (coco loco is on one side, jim's is on the other). we've eaten there before and always loved the veggie burgers. they used to do vegan dim sims but their supplier quit making them (we've always blamed it on the fact that the squat behind the fish and chip shop had to close down and all the vegan punks living there quit eating at jim's cuz it was no longer around the corner, therefore jim was ordering less dim sims and the supplier decided it was no longer worth it). they still make their veggie burgers though. jim and his wife make home made patties that they have in balls in the fridge. when you order them the flatten them out a bit on the grill and cool them up. they toast the buns on the grill and then add tomatoes, shredded carrot, lettus, beetroot (cuz its australia and i think there must be some kind of weird law here to put beetroot on veggie burgers-- its good though) and salt and pepper (lots of it). they're only $4 (used to be $3.50) and they are huge and AMAZING! they even put them on plates for us cuz we were eating on the tables out front. i've never had food from a take away shop served on a plate. we gotta go up there more often cuz they're the best veggie burgers ever!
we never go up there much even though northcote (especially high street) is a really cool area cuz its the other side of the creek. we stick to our side and they stick to their side (we have friends and northcote who came to the street party with us last weekend and they were saying how they never come over this side of the creek but there's a lot of cool places along sydney road to go to). our suburbs are right next to each other (divided by the creek-- which both of us live near-- so its not even that far!).
