Third Wave Cafe / Third Wave Prahran
There are not that many good authentic places that cook and serve American barbecue dishes the way they should be cooked and served.
If you try the #AmericanBBQ style meat at one of the Third Wave restaurants in Melbourne (Third Wave Cafe Port Melbourne or Third Wave Cafe Prahran) you would understand what I mean as they are the the best of not many in Melbourne who do it the right way and if you ever tried a good BBQ meat treats in some best places in States (like North Carolina for example) you will know what I mean.
Our choice fell on the BBQ chicken wings and two sides: fries and coleslaw salad.
The serve came on our table in a blink of an eye: all fresh from the oven, the wings were sprinkled with sesame seeds and topped with a very yummy home made sauce. One portion was enough for two people - they are very large so please consider this when you are ordering and they are enough even if you came to the cafe hungry. The coleslaw was so good we wished we never ran out of it: crispy and fresh it was made in the European best traditions with the right mayo that only improved the taste of two color cabbages and carrots in the salad. The fries got our best compliments too: they have some special and distinctive (probably also secret) spice on them which made our experience in this place so special and interesting. Add to this like in States the table service is not complete if the two bottles of in-house-hand-made sauce was not mountained on our table: one of them with apples was likable in particular and went extremely good with potato chips. The wings all disappeared in about 20 minutes from the start. We also noticed that the tables were all reserved and the groups of people were arriving one after another to take their places (family or friends celebrations) and create joy all around this place.
If you are ever in the area (Port Melbourne or Prahran) and hungry in the evening they are the places unmissable for gourmet food lovers.
