Melbourne, we need to talk.
Can we stop taking photos of god damn plates of food that you didn't even make? I don't think it's too hard to find a nice cafe in Melbourne that does a smashed avocado with a chai latte to justify a picture. They're everywhere and it's always the same compsoition; some sort of bread, avocado with varying amount of some type of feta with some random condiments of strategically placed garnishes to make it look good. Honestly, not even hard.
I mean you didn't even make it yourself. Well done, you paid money for someone to make it for you. You don't need to advertise your amazing ordering abilities in successfully ordering the same dish as the rest of Melbourne.
And don't even get me started on bloody burgers. I don't understand this new burger fad. "O yeah look at me, I'm at this incredibly hip-indie named place which magically makes my burger better than the other 57 burgers from similarly originally named placed."
At this point it'd be more original if you went to Mc Donalds and took a picture of a "build your own burger. At least that way it show you've put some effort into understanding what's in your burger.
Really at the end of the day, when are going to realise that burgers are just greasily dressed salad stuck between two pieces of bread that is great only because of the heart-attack inducing amount of meat included in the $15 burger.
"But Jackson, it doesn't hurt anyone when I share my photos of my amazing burgers." "You're such a kill joy Jackson" "Omg, Jackson you wear glasses." Australia is one of the fattest, if not fattest nations in the world. In the midst of an obesity epidemic which is costing Australian tax payers millions of dollars, sharing pictures of your quad-stack-steak-with-extra-bacon-burger really isn't helping. "Jackson, it's angus beef man, that makes it healthy." No, it doesn't.
Even ignoring that, is the fact that Melbourne food offers so much more than avocado for brunch. Melbourne, offers a variety of food. You can walk 15 minutes and see hand made noodles, souvlakis, curries, dumplings fish and chips and coffee.
Melbourne, we're better than just burgers and smashed avo.

I'd choose a free burger over hanging out with you
"Omg, Jackson you wear glasses" lel.
I also had a similar epiphany about Melbourne brunch recently. So boring, it's the same at every place, and it's expensive for stuff that you can easily make at home.
Go Jackson!
