To Do

One of my all-time favourite activities is: brunch - in the sun - with friends/lover - at an adorable, quirkily appointed cafe - which serves awesome food. It can be as quirky as it likes, and not serve decent food and it's a huge NO from me. Another element which is becoming more screamingly apparent for us Brisbanites is the cost: visitors comment on it, locals notice it (but have to put up with it). Brisvegas is becoming uber expensive for food - basic fare such as breakfast included. Whereas once breakfast would you set you back approx $15 (unless you linger & order more than one coffee - in any event still sub-$20) these days, it can be pretty damn hard to find breakfast food (not incl. the TruBlood version for humans - coffee) below $20. Ridiculous!

Flamingo is a new-ish cafe in the Valley, and it looks like it may deliver on some key elements (haven't tasted it yet, so will have to report back).

I have a friend who hates being served food by tattooed people (I believe this view comes from a link in her mind to "carny folk" and dirt - or STDs*). What are your views on this? There are a lot of people with tattoos serving food in Brissie currently.
