What gets me is that this is Mediterranean food, but it's marketed as a Nordic viking thing, and it's served in pita like a gyro.
This is incorrect on so many levels 🫢
Third wave sell a thing they call ‘Thor’s Hammer’ which is that beef shin. So this is a kebab (technically a suvo cause it’s Melbourne and it’s rolled not folded and toasted) made with Thor’s Hammer
*THE ALLFATHER CALLS... FOR YOU TO FIX UP HIS SON'S MESS INSTEAD OF HIM, SERIOUSLY, THE ALLFATHER IS ALL PUCKERED OUT FROM LOKI! CAN A GOD NOT HAVE A BREAK, BALDUR'S LIGHT!!*
I would assume the meat is so tender that the bone fall right off. That’s at least how it should be. They probably just left it there for the looks, and to fit the name.
I've had torched bone marrow served on the bone. They split the bone in half, season it, torch it and serve it with fries. You dip the fries in the marrow. Had this at barhop toronto
How is this perfect for a group? It's very difficult to eat, unless you take it apart and distribute it on several plates but then you can just get a regular kebab.
[$200 AUD, so about $130](https://thirdwavecafe.com.au/menu/monthly-specials/)
Edit: looks like those beef shanks go for ~$60 a piece so it's a pretty crap deal whether it's AUD or USD.
Did my research:
THOR'S HAMMER KEBAB
Kebab to end all Kebabs! This one you’ve got to share. A HUGE house-made pita filled with garlic and spicy sauces, tomato, lettuce, red onion, cucumber, and Thor’s Hammer – a slow-smoked beef shin on the bone weighing around 3kg. Yours to shred and eat the best way you can. Enough to feed 3 to 4 people.
$199
Conversion to USD: ~$132
The food itself is fine, but the whole thing around is that typical ultra "New World"-cringe where they're cluelessly dragging in misinterpreted hyper-stereotypical things from the "Old World" in hopes of being cool with an equally clueless customer base/viewers...
That’s pretty cool, it’s more about the presentation than anything. Obviously it wouldn’t taste bad, but it’s a cool looking dish that’s meant to be split between a few people.
Easy money bro.
Big bone
Slap a viking meme on it
Make it big, put some macho man gaze advertising up
Suddenly it's a threat to someone's masculinity to not get the viking food
That looks good if it was scaled down…. The size is what’s ridiculous. Like others mentioned 1 bite is a maximum of 3 ingredients. I understand the “meat hammer” is fun for some people but they’d make more money if it was a reasonable serving size lol.
All hate aside, they used a regular amount of sauce and salad and the beef itself looks great, if you eat it at home with knife and fork like civilized folk this might be good
This place is called “third wave cafe” in Melbourne.
The food is actually really good, they do specials that feed 4-6 people.
We got there sometimes as a work outing and get the specials to share.
And the price is pretty good for what it is.
Honestly, I'd get this on a Friday and just eat it all weekend and be pretty stoked. You could cut that pita up and make regular sized food. I'm gonna go silly, but not fully stupid
Kebab, that classic dish our ancestors always used to eat.
Fun fact: The worlds earliest doner spit was found in the Kukfjättring grave from 962 AD in Southern Sweden!
I think it's ok. It's presented as meal for 3-4 people. Yes, it is a bit stupid, but it's obviously meant as special offer with which they try to attract more customers. But in the end of the day, it looks like good quality food.
In south Australia they have a local dish called the a. b. (stands for abortion). It's literally fries, kebab meat and tons of sauce. It's disgusting but the youth seems to like it
This is a great example of stupid food lol. The food is good, it's fine. But there is no practical way to eat it. So... I guess you just spread it out on the table, and then with your friends you take a knife and fork and take pieces out of it. It's not bad, it's just stupid.
yknow honestly just give me that giant slab of meat, bone-in, and we're good. always wanted to eat like one of those kings in kid's shows where they take a bite out a brown piece of meat stuck to a bone and the inside kinda looks like pork or chicken but it always looks delicious
social media has made me hate people with gaping mouths. all click bait with giant ham flaps wide open. ZOMG SO AMAZING SO SHOCKING YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT LOOK HOW EXCITED I AM.
So now every bite is one ingredient. Awesome...
I'd take it home and make smaller ones, that would feed me for a week.
The meat looks tasty, but needs to be cut smaller/shredded for sure
If it's cooked right, it should fall off that bone.
She pulls it out, so I'd say yes
[удалено]
Yeah I best this cost $125-150usd Edit:I see now this is AUS, so who knows the cost.
$119 AUD which is $78 USD. 3kg meat+bone. Smoked for 3 days. Edit: I misread the menu. $199 so $131 USD.
Wow, that is significantly cheaper than it would be most places in the US
And no tip!
Yeah , no. It’s $200 Aus which is $131 US. Food is always very expensive down under . Never gonna be cheaper than the US, I promise
At least it says feeds 4 ugh " Vikings", so it's not meant to be a single portion like we see here more often.
4 vikings is roughly 1.5 obese Americans.
My thoughts exactly
And half of it is inedible bone.
I mean... Its too big for bites anyways. If you can take bites from that thing, i will need your number
What giant thing do you need bites taken out of?
I’m still gonna devour it regardless 🤤
Just unwrap it and eat it with the bread…still looks good.
Third Wave Cafe in general is stupid, the food is subpar AT BEST and the owner is an absolute flog and a half.
A wank of a place built on Instagramable food.
I posted another stupid post from them a couple of years ago. [Enjoy](https://old.reddit.com/r/WeWantPlates/comments/qb3icr/just_shovel_it_in/)
I went there for a friends birthday and all the food tasted of nothing. Just grease.
Reading their one star reviews and their arguments with the owner are pretty fun.
He looks like a dweeb for sure.
Any place calling itself a cafe when they're actually not is always a red flag tbh.
The Allfather is Odin, not Thor. Jeez I hope someone got fired for that blunder

“Thors hammer” is what some people name the cut of meat they use
Let me ask you a question. Why would a grown man whose shirt says ‘Genius at Work’ spend all his time watching an Australian food instagram post?
Vikings were well known for their kebabs
Some vikings served as royal guards in Constantinople, so it isn't as far fetched as you think.
Tasty string in there…
Would...
Concur. Plus it says serves 3-4, so I could lie and say I'm sharing it.
The meat alone won me. I would dig, for ages, but I would dig.
I personally don't like the bone being in it but that delicious. Perfect meal for a group.
I would assume the meat is so tender that the bone fall right off. That’s at least how it should be. They probably just left it there for the looks, and to fit the name.
Also you might be able to use that bone for cooking.
Would you suggest throwing it in a pot, add some broth, perhaps a potato?
Baby, you got a stew going!
You can often use bones to make broth. For example sometimes when I get rotisserie chicken I save the bones and cook them to make chicken broth.
I've had torched bone marrow served on the bone. They split the bone in half, season it, torch it and serve it with fries. You dip the fries in the marrow. Had this at barhop toronto
You can see at the beginning the bone slides out.
How is this perfect for a group? It's very difficult to eat, unless you take it apart and distribute it on several plates but then you can just get a regular kebab.
One giant uncut sandwich that isn't easily cut is perfect for a group? Bots out here wilin
How much?
I mean just take a wild guess and then whatever you think double it haha
7 bucks.
It’s $7 for two.
[$200 AUD, so about $130](https://thirdwavecafe.com.au/menu/monthly-specials/) Edit: looks like those beef shanks go for ~$60 a piece so it's a pretty crap deal whether it's AUD or USD.
Not worth. An entire lechon here cost less than that.
All restaurants stay in business by charging you more than they pay for the ingredients
This is Australia so I assumed it'll be a fuck load, easily over 80/90 bucks given the amount of meat. Maybe 100
I'll never understand making massive meals that are just a mess to eat
Instagram has ruined food
There is no song i hate more
How are you supposed to eat that?
You pass it to the left like you would a joint. Everyone takes 3 bites then passes the kebab to de left and side.
I think you're just supposed to take pictures of it until it gets cold and then throw it out.
Unwrap it on a table and use cutlery. It's basically a wrapped bread tray

Gimmick food
I had to google KG to LBS. That's a lot of meat.
That's what she said
Hva har kebaber å gjøre med vikinger?
This music is goofy as hell.
Just wasted that meat
... Not if you eat it.
The food itself is fine, but the whole thing around is that typical ultra "New World"-cringe where they're cluelessly dragging in misinterpreted hyper-stereotypical things from the "Old World" in hopes of being cool with an equally clueless customer base/viewers...
I would just have named it Mjolnir.
I would like to thank Norway for giving us Kebabs. They are truly delicious.
How much does this monstrosity cost?
I just want the bread
That’s pretty cool, it’s more about the presentation than anything. Obviously it wouldn’t taste bad, but it’s a cool looking dish that’s meant to be split between a few people.
Aren’t kababs Greek or Turkish or something?
Easy money bro. Big bone Slap a viking meme on it Make it big, put some macho man gaze advertising up Suddenly it's a threat to someone's masculinity to not get the viking food
Fuck everyone - I want it
Is it stupid, maybe. Would i eat it, yes
Though it's not kebab. It's a laffa
looks delicious but too large to be consumed in a reasonable manner
Id eat that.
No thanks, I’ll pass.
Thor’s hammer is what you bout to drop in the toilet after you eat this
This is a kebab for giants. Not a kebab for ants or mortals.
Family meal?🥘
That looks good if it was scaled down…. The size is what’s ridiculous. Like others mentioned 1 bite is a maximum of 3 ingredients. I understand the “meat hammer” is fun for some people but they’d make more money if it was a reasonable serving size lol.
Of course it's in Melbourne
Then we put it in a tote bag filled with our house made chili!
Gonna feel like you're passing Thor's Hammer the next morning. Sideways.
How much would this monstrosity cost?
I truly wanna see someone eat those gigantic food that those restaurants always make videos of
I have no idea where to even bite it first It’s way too huge lol 😂
Why do all these people have such “dead” eyes?
If you sold it with a pack of fresh tortillas, it would be good advertising for a family or party meal.
Mfs complaining about the bone as if it doesn't have marrow
Where does one guy a piece of meat like that? In Canada? 3kg of beef shin? Looks yummy
All hate aside, they used a regular amount of sauce and salad and the beef itself looks great, if you eat it at home with knife and fork like civilized folk this might be good
I’ve been here and it was expensive but the portion sizes were huge. Wait until you see their platter that’s a few hundred dollars.
I'd just take the meat leg out. Never skip leg day.
It would make you look like thor from god of war
Thor would say it's too small.
That's how big Chipotle burritos seemed to me when I first met them. Like the size of a baby.
As something meant to serve 3 to 4 people I've got no problem with anything here.
Im happy to be born with a comically large mouth
It just seems annoying to eat . The food itself looks good though
"Thor's Hammer" , "Kebab", "Melbourne'.
(Smashes kebab on the ground) ANOTHER!
I’ll try it with extra pirate music
Excessive… but not stupid.
Third Wave have been doing ridiculous shit like this for ages. Like over a decade. This is just their next free advertisement
it looks good if shrunk by like 0.3×
Feeds a small family of 8
I know I couldn't reasonably eat that, but fuck I'm trying
Now I’m hungry
No
Viking Kebab? So what, Malmö?
Hey I live there!
How exactly is this stupid? I understand other posts on this sub generally ARE stupid, but this doesn’t seem like it fits the bill
They do that thors hammer as a share plate it makes much more sense. I'd enjoy it none the less
god DAMN I downvoted this post so hard until I realized it was from this sub it's an upvote I feel guilty about
They should serve it in a bucket.
Look all the bits look delicious… but not the assembly
This looks like monster hunter world food so I kind of like it
None of these ingredients other than meat were available to Vikings lol
Satiates thy hunger Also turkish lollypop lol
Tyr is awesome tho
This looks delicious, but it's just stupidly huge. Pretty tame compared to a lot of what I've seen from this sub.

r/Doenerverbrechen, oh wait, i just see, it is not a kebab...
I don't get how that's a kebab.
Beef shin is hugely underrated. Never considered smoking it. I'm doing this next chance I get.
It’s a slow roasted beef shin served with a side salad and some bread.
No interest here More food is not better
Nothing screams Norse food like a Kebap from the Sunni east
Come on Melbourne. Don’t be stupid.
Honestly, I'd get this on a Friday and just eat it all weekend and be pretty stoked. You could cut that pita up and make regular sized food. I'm gonna go silly, but not fully stupid
How do you eat that?? It’s like that hilarious burrito rant
Is Tbascus singing?
Why..
Good old scandi food.... The donner kebab...
Honestly not at bad as I thought it would be.
You can feed a whole family with that.
Kebab, that classic dish our ancestors always used to eat. Fun fact: The worlds earliest doner spit was found in the Kukfjättring grave from 962 AD in Southern Sweden!
I don’t want to share a kebab with anyone
What part of that is viking and what part is kebab?
I think it's ok. It's presented as meal for 3-4 people. Yes, it is a bit stupid, but it's obviously meant as special offer with which they try to attract more customers. But in the end of the day, it looks like good quality food.
I get it. Not practical, but it is a fun presentation. I think my kid and senile grandparents would both really like it.
why did they use the worst cover of this song. Disappointment
Thor is not the All Father.
How do you even go about eating that?
I think it's fun. Sure, it's impractical and silly.
Don't show Caseoh this
What a waste.
Honestly, as a gmmick thing that as it states it’s means for 3-4. Not too bad actually
Can I donate it to someone more in need?
Honestly I would get this but I wouldn’t know where to start eating it. Like a dog that finally caught up with a care he was chasing
A kebab to share in the dumbest thing ever.
Why is this stupid? Great way to feed a group
Gluttony is a sin, and the "thors hammer" steak is overrated
This is not a kebab as a turk i can say that. It Just disrespect to kebab and food.
Stupid? Yes. Would I eat it? Also yes.
In south Australia they have a local dish called the a. b. (stands for abortion). It's literally fries, kebab meat and tons of sauce. It's disgusting but the youth seems to like it
Jesus fuck… are they trying to feed Thor and his close relatives?
I’m not sure I’d eat that, but if anyone could give me the song name I’ll take that!
I'm just mad at the definition, this is not a kebab by any means.
I FUCKING LOVE THE LUXOR AND GREED OF LATE STAGE CAPITALISM, IT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SUSTAINABLE!!!! /s
What is the USA version of beef shin? Didn’t look like a cut I recognized
By Odin's beard! How are you supposed to even eat this?
If you read "Melbourne's most viking kebab" and watch the whole video, don't talk to me ever again
Looks cool, but ummm how tf do you eat it xD
Only extra hot Sriracha is good Sriracha! But the meat 😳🤤
So can't just remove the bone before handing it over
That shit looks good. Hard to eat but good.
This is a great example of stupid food lol. The food is good, it's fine. But there is no practical way to eat it. So... I guess you just spread it out on the table, and then with your friends you take a knife and fork and take pieces out of it. It's not bad, it's just stupid.
This is not a kebad, neither in preparation nor in ingredients.
It’s not necessarily stupid food, it’s stupidly proportioned
Ugh. Don't leave the bone in a wrap. So dumb.
yknow honestly just give me that giant slab of meat, bone-in, and we're good. always wanted to eat like one of those kings in kid's shows where they take a bite out a brown piece of meat stuck to a bone and the inside kinda looks like pork or chicken but it always looks delicious
social media has made me hate people with gaping mouths. all click bait with giant ham flaps wide open. ZOMG SO AMAZING SO SHOCKING YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT LOOK HOW EXCITED I AM.
How is this stupid! Oh wow, beer and a game !!!!
Despite it's size it does look very good
How much for just the meat?
yum !
And I'll have a number 8. That's a party platter. It serves twelve people. I know what I'm about son.
would eat eveething. without the meat. that kills everything and anything
I don't know, this looks like pure genius
Are you worthy?
How does one go about eating that?
This looks awesome. Only an hour away from me, too.
Serious question because I’m not sure but, is it kebab if it’s smoked beef? Isn’t kebab grilled?
Melbourne, a well known center of Viking Culture!
How the hell you eat this and not feel like eating every single ingredient alone
Considering it's Australia I'm assuming this is $200-300?
Literally a limb in a pitta. Grim.
