Best in Food: Melbourne for its Italian (Lygon Street), Vietnamese (Springvale or Meekong at Swanston Street) and Greek Cakes (St Kilda), not forgetting the cheap and good seafood along the Great Ocean Road in Apollo Bay.

Biased? What "biased"??

Only not enough time to also sample and compare the foods in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhamton, Goldcoast, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Darwin, Alice Spring, Albany etc etc. :)
