Coffee and food ahh 2 of my favourite things only just behind running and my wife. Now I know this is a running blog I can write about anything I like so shut up.

Today I wish to talk about coffee. I have been very lucky in my time to experience great coffee due to two of my close friends being very passionate about the subject and actively working in the industry.

Now quite a few times recently I have read the west newspaper and have been confused by a writer and there opinion on coffee in Western Australia, or more importantly the cost. I would like to ask them a) how much are they paid and b) do they feel they are worth it.

Because I feel they have a high important on what they do for a living but don't care about other industries. Unfortunately especially the food and coffee industry that or they play favourites? Both terrible things to be as a so called food lover. They do rave about Melbourne food and coffee? Maybe they should move back there? I dont understand.

Now I'm not going to say I don't have favourite coffee shops or restaurants but I do think everyone is entitled to make a living and if people (note I said people not single person) respect what you do or feel you a leader in your field does that not mean you get paid more?

I bet our food friend gets paid what he feels he is worth.

Please thoughts? And maybe give me a few of you favourite cafe's and restaurants to try, let your friends know about the blog and hopefully they can give some suggestions too

Running regards
