the meat and wine company - queensbridge street southbank melbourne 03 9696 5333

i'm not sure i could think up a better name for a restaurant the serves yummy steak and awesome wine. while i do have half a cheek on the green bandwagon (and i appreciate that it takes a bazillion litres of water to make a mouthful of beef), i really really really like a good steak once in a while. come on, give me a break! i eat cardboard for a week afterward to make up for it. honestly. i thought that there was no better steak than squires loft. i still think it is one of the best i've ever had. everyone i have dragged along to squires (they always start out as unbelievers) has fallen in love with the steaks. but i was unprepared for the meat and wine company. despite being within smelling distance of a mcdonalds (who the fuck was in charge of leases in southbank?!) i fell in love with the place. then i found out that, like squires, mawc has its roots in south africa. oh, those crazy south africans! i'd have to put squires and meat and wine on the same level. i don't think i could choose between the two. if i had to differentiate (you can see i've been drinking a better vintage of wine) i'd say that the meat and wine company is the the girl who never swears and likes sex with candles lit. squires is like the girl who let's you put your hand down her pants in the back row of the movies. both are good, at different times. don't you like my analogies?
