Four years in Tasmania.
Gudge and I were celebrating with dinner at a Hobart institution, The Winston and seeing some bands at Alter (Dead Congregation and Blood Incantation- Death Metal).
The Winston was one of the first places we ate when we first visited Hobart see post here and seemed only fitting that we would celebrate our four year Tassiversary here.
If in Hobart, do stop in. Great beer, great food... trendy youth types.
Here is their menu:

Gudge decided on the cheeseburger and I thought I'd try the MYOkfc sambo - chicken. (However I was also eyeing off the pulled pork and the pit beef sandwich.) To my delight, Gudge also ordered us a serve of the mac n cheese sticks.
Our burgs showed up first ( I should also mention to generally expect a bit of a wait for food at the Winston- but it's worth it)
Served with fries which were very nicely cooked and seasoned, I would describe this as a KFC bahn mi and it was DEEE-LIII-SHUSSS! Little bit of spice, nice Vietnamese flavours from the veg salad and coriander and really nice roll. Very, very nice and a lighter option on an Americana inspired menu.
Gudge enjoyed his cheeseburger. Gudge generally enjoys burgers.
We were coming to the end of our meals when a waitress came to take our table number. I enquired as to our mac n cheese sticks to which she replied "they always come out last", weird thing to say about an entree, but okay.
We finished our plates and I asked again if our entree was coming and they did, about 5 minutes later. Fortunately they were very, very worth the wait. I remember how well The Winston perfects mac n cheese from our first visit (in which they came out with the meal) but a good mac n cheese is no easy feat. So wait aside, I applaud the kitchen not only for the sticks, an all round excellent meal.
