Brush Script at Smith & Deli

The friends who I'm currently staying with in Melbourne are vegans and so I have sampled a lot of great vegan eateries around the city ever since I arrived. Today we had lunch at Smith & Deli which is a super tasty vegan deli in Fitzroy. I had the most incredible toasted meatball sandwich and I honestly couldn't tell it wasn't real meat or that the melted mozzarella inside wasn't real cheese and regardless of all of that, it was probably the best sandwich I've eaten in my whole life. 

As we were waiting in the queue, which was very long and snaked its way throughout the whole shop to the door because it was a Saturday and because the food in there is so damn good, I got really excited by their excellent use of brush script lettering dotted around the place. It always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I see the brush script font being used in every day situations at the best of times but when it's used in slogans that read "Your Neighbourhood Shop" I can't help but get ridiculously excited. For those of you that don't know the significance of this awesome font, or who can't remember that far back, it was the font that launched Neighbours back in the 80's as used in the original logo and still makes subtle appearances every now and again on the show.

Brush script aside, this place is amazing and even if you don't have any special dietary requirements, I challenge anyone to order food from this place and not think it's utterly delicious.
