Right before checking out tonight’s so you think you’re andro semi-finals at Play, where my friend June also celebrated her flirtieth birthday (happy flirtieth
steak sandwich, $12
A small little place nestled between Play (yes, the gay bar, on the premises of the old Happy) and Oso, their food menu is small and simple. I was told their steak sandwich is the rockstar of the show, and it was superb. Real steak. Real lovely steak with a portobello mushroom. Other items are only around $5-8. Tuckshop was set up by a bunch of lawyer and architect friends. A band, The Bandits, plays there on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I hadn’t heard of The Bandits before but I liked what I heard very much. On weekends said architect owner and other DJs take up the decks and spin music.
They are a month old and have only just begun opening for lunch between 11.30 am and 2.30pm, dinners in the evenings. I love simple and honest food; it can be so hard to find that sometimes. Affordable, simple, honest food with cheap beer and good music? Am I dreaming? (Note to self: always trust friends who are/have been food reviewers. June never lets me down!)

June’s a mate of mine, It’s great that she’s checked out my mate’s latest business venture, a pity that I won’t get to go since I’m so far away. But it is really lovely that I get to read reviews like yours and know what a success Dean has created! Good food + lovely atmosphere + great music = tuckshop!

i remembered a movie called The Bandits which featured a group of musicians who escaped from jail and made their own album while running away from the police. for a moment, i thought the group really existed. haha.
the food there is lovely! the best fish and chips aren’t at greenwood avenue, they’re found at tuckshop!
