Breaking news from five years ago: Eater reports\u00a0there are really a lot of Australians working in American coffee<\/a>.<\/p>\n Perhaps it was one of the 16 Bluestone Lane<\/a> cafes in New York that tipped them off. Or maybe it was the 15 other Bluestone Lane cafes outside the city. Or perhaps it was this 2014 (!) Oliver Strand article<\/a> for the New York Times with an identical premise.<\/p>\n Because Eater’s feature was written by an Australian, it includes claims that Australians invented avocado toast (they didn’t<\/a>) and flat whites (also not them<\/a>). Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you walk in to an Australian cafe it\u2019s going to be fun, lively, welcoming, you can kind of go there and feel comfortable and not feel like you\u2019re walking into a science lab\u2026 it\u2019s that mentality that we\u2019re trying to replicate here,\u201d says Ryan de Remer, owner of Sweatshop, which opened in 2014 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and now counts 11 Australians on staff. \u201cBack in Melbourne you don\u2019t go for the biggest coffee with the most caffeine, everyone sits and chills. The American coffee gets too focused on the product.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Presumably the hit single Am I Wrong?<\/em> by Nico and Vinz<\/a> played whilst this quote was issued (or perhaps even Iggy Azalea, though that’s a bit on the nose) because evidently we have time traveled back to 2014.\u00a0Australians are everywhere in North American coffee, and this isn’t news\u2014it\u00a0was<\/em> news, several years ago, and was duly reported on then, but we live in the present, not the past. Right? Right??<\/em><\/p>\n Other shudderingly obvious features built on outdated premises we look forward to reading this weekend include:<\/p>\n Zac Cadwalader<\/a>\u00a0is the news editor at Sprudge Media Network and a staff writer based in Dallas.\u00a0Read more Zac Cadwalader\u00a0on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Eater Just Noticed All The Australians<\/a> appeared first on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Coffee News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breaking news from five years ago: Eater reports\u00a0there are really a lot of Australians working in American coffee.
