			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Chicken Burger + Chips and a pot from Monx" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21656699@N05/2420590212/"><br />
<img class="alignright" style="float: right; " src="http://static.flickr.com/2159/2420590212_d61362137d_m.jpg" alt="Chicken Burger + Chips and a pot from Monx" /></a>I went to Monx again, but this time for Lunch. Being a Thursday, they have a special, you can get any of their Burgers with a drink for $11. So I ordered the Chicken Burger and a Pot of Coopers (there are limitations on what drink you can get).</p>
<p>I was waiting for it to come along, and was so I was typing up my <a href="http://griffmiester.com/2008/04/17/lost-the-product-key-for-microsoft-office-2008-for-mac/" target="_self">last post</a>. The guy that run&#8217;s the place came and brought me my burger (pictured half eaten) and said &#8220;I saw your blog post&#8221;&#8230; WHAT?!?</p>
<p>He disappeared again. Busy dealing with other meals for other customers.</p>
<p>I was stunned. How did he know I&#8217;d written a <a href="http://griffmiester.com/2008/03/12/monx-on-burwood-road/" target="_self">post previously</a> about Monx?</p>
<p>The only pic of me on the site is that one up the top with the Blue/Green tint, me in sunnies and my <a title="Sennheiser HD 465 Information Page" href="http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/500157" target="_blank">Sennheiser HD465&#8242;</a>s (which I seem to wear a lot BTW).</p>
<p>He came back and told me that he had done a Google Vanity Search to see what came up if he entered <a title="Google search for Monx on Australian Pages" href="http://www.google.com.au/search?num=100&amp;hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;q=Monx&amp;btnG=Search&amp;meta=cr%3DcountryAU" target="_blank">Monx into Google</a>. And there was my Blog post. I must say that freaked me out a little. I mean really am I that recognisable from my banner photo?</p>
<p>Maybe i should pixelate it a bit. <img src='http://griffmiester.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Any-who, getting back to the Burger, I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s cheap at $11, but when a pot costs $4, at $7, it does a pretty good job. I really enjoyed the burger, chicken (grilled), avocado, caramelised onion, mayonnaise&#8230; The chips were a little dry, and I wouldn&#8217;t have minded some &#8220;<acronym title="or Tomato Sauce for those that don't know the rhyming slang">Dead Horse</acronym>&#8221; with them.</p>
<p>Would definitely get it again, or one of the other burgers (I think there were 4 or 5 in total).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I have some time to kill, so I&#8217;ve dropped into <a title="Google Map for Monx location" href="http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=428+burwood+road,+hawthorn,+vic,+australia&amp;sll=-37.814274,145.213791&amp;sspn=0.01068,0.019956&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=addr">Monx</a> to see what it&#8217;s like. First thing I found out was that I can&#8217;t get a student priced coffee until next week. The are waiting on a deal from their coffee supplier to bring it in.</p>
<p><a title="First Coffee at Monx" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/griffmiester/2328059966/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2381/2328059966_e3de111c13_m.jpg" alt="First Coffee at Monx" /></a>It only cost $3 for a coffee, which isn&#8217;t to bad round here, but I&#8217;ll be interested to see what the student pricing will be like. <span style="color: #993300;">*UPDATE* the student price for a coffee is a reasonable $2.50.</span> The coffee wasn&#8217;t too bad either, I&#8217;ve had worse from Haddons, as good from HQ, as good from <a title="Mario's Coffee House" href="http://www.marioscoffee.com/">Mario&#8217;s</a>&#8230; I&#8217;ll just have to see how it pans out.</p>
<p>The other cool thing about this cafe (as anyone that used to go to Ruby&#8217;s would know) is that I can access the Swinburne Uni WiFi, so I can type this up while siting on the couch.</p>
<p>Ahhh Uni life&#8230; <img src='http://griffmiester.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
