If they hadn’t already appointed the King of Moomba for this year, here’s a man who would be well in the running: Herbie, of Herbie’s Healthy Lunches has recently burst onto Melbourne’s scene, delivering ridiculously cheap and healthy lunches to people around town on a silver tray.
Here’s what happens: once you email Herbie, he sends you the following week’s menu on a Tuesday. You choose your lunches and email your order before 5pm that Thursday. If you order one for each weekday, you get one free! So that’s $24 for a whole week of lunches, which is better than a poke in the eye with a chopstick. The only catch is, Herbie visits in the mornings, so you’ll need a microwave, open fire or similar receptacle to warm up your lunch.
Herbie’s meals are vegetarian, low GI and made from fresh, unprocessed ingredients. Check the website for a complete menu of recipes, as well as a list of the music Herbie listens to as he cooks. But word is spreading quickly, so email Herbie before he gives up cheffing and takes over the world.
