Speaker 1: We must try Melvin's Best.
Speaker 2: Potato edition, guys, Melbourne's Best.
Speaker 3: It's something we like to do every now and then
Speaker 3: on this show. Last time, the great debate was over
Speaker 3: Melbourne's best scrolls, and we all agreed that the winner
Speaker 3: was Lamaro.
Speaker 2: No No, no.
Speaker 4: Heart Bakes anyway, none of us. We all agreed to
Speaker 4: disagree on that.
Speaker 5: That's right, that's all pretty good.
Speaker 3: Today might be a different story. I remember last week
Speaker 3: in the news the biggest manufacturer of potato cakes here
Speaker 3: in Melbourne went belly up.
Speaker 5: Just a very sad day for Melbournian's.
Speaker 3: Really, we asked, where in Melbourne do you get the
Speaker 3: best potato cakes? We are about to find out. We
Speaker 3: have three of the best options ready to face off, and.
Speaker 2: We have three of the best judges.
Speaker 5: Yeah we do. Now here's the thing.
Speaker 4: When we did the debate over what the best scrolls were,
Speaker 4: we were all representing a brand because we all felt
Speaker 4: quite fierce about it.
Speaker 5: So even if yours was.
Speaker 4: Better than mine, I was never going to vote for
Speaker 4: yours because that's how I play.
Speaker 2: Which you admitted privately.
Speaker 5: No different. See two of these I never did.
Speaker 6: Two of these.
Speaker 3: I've tried in the wild I've tried Hunky Dory Hunky
Speaker 3: Dory South Melbourne. They're putting up their potato cake. And
Speaker 3: I've tried the spread Eagle Hotel in Richmond, right who
Speaker 3: do a in house homemade potato And then we have
Speaker 3: a wild card.
Speaker 4: We do the chicken salad shopping Gladstone Park. Now, we
Speaker 4: had a woman on whose boyfriend worked there and she
Speaker 4: was being an ambassador for the brand.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love the deal they come with though, if
Speaker 1: you're listening right now, eighty cents each or five or
Speaker 1: four bucks, because they say it's not about the size
Speaker 1: of the potato cake, it's what you do with them.
Speaker 2: What a time to be alive. You can get five
Speaker 2: potato cakes four.
Speaker 4: Does that mean they are each seventy five cents discount
Speaker 4: per potato cake if you buy them in a pack.
Speaker 3: Those little mini Dutch pancakes, they could be the size
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 4: We don't know yet, all right, No, So I like
Speaker 4: the ones at the storehouse so relatable, and they can
Speaker 4: serve them a caviar on top. They have not offered
Speaker 4: theirs in for breakfast taste.
Speaker 6: We don't have the caviar topped.
Speaker 1: Staff representing each Potatoka here and they are flying their.
Speaker 4: Chicken shop a chicken salad shown Glenson Park, have their
Speaker 4: own secret housemade chicken salt.
