They follow the worldwide milk bar phenomenon that began in Depression Sydney. They look deeply at the Greek way of promising Hollywood glamour in the 30s and 50s with modern exotic American treats and styles. In their own words dozens of Australias Greek cafe families tell stories of migration, ingenuity, hard work and hardships that gave Australia its most popular catering outlets in the good old days.
