Lord of the Fries is a one time revolving van turned take-out joint offering “burgers” and not surprisingly, fries, for Melbournian vegans and vegetarians alike. Their Big Mark Burger — a veggie patty topped with soy cheese, pickles, and ketchup — was recently named Australia’s Best Veggie Burger by animal rights activist group PETA. That’s not to say their fries aren’t equally legendary. Made from Australian-sourced potatoes, these hand cut, skin on fries boast a crunchy, crisp exterior and a fluffy center. Lord of the Fries’ ingredients and methods focus on healthy ingredients, locally sourced, so whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian, locavore, or carnivore, this humble shop promises to please.

Now, c’mon, if you had the chance to lay a clever one liner on William Shatner, you would, right? Yeah. If you could look him in the eyes, gently brush his laser gun out of your face, and unleash that killer put down that you’ve had swirling around the deepest cavaties of your subconcious ever since episode six of the fourth series, you’d grab it with both hands and offer up a thanks to those strange looking alien creatures who rule our universe. Well, guess what? You can. And while you’re at it, why don’t you give Dustin Diamond an ear full, too. Ah, the joys of unrequited paybacks.
Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a dark force dwells. Wolves in the Throne Room are one of the most inspired and original black metal bands in America (and in the world, for that matter). Read more
Put simply, Sydney fashion label Andrea and Joen create the hottest shoes around. You’ll find a combination of pure sophistication and rock and roll attitude in every pair from their range.
