Stretch and J-Unit decided to write a little prose about our favourite parma to the clueless guys at superparma.com.
I have to reccomend the Big Arse Chook Parma at the Metropolitan Hotel in North Melbourne. I have tried many on your list (including 1-3), and none of them come close to the parmalogical magnificence that is on offer at the Metro.
This is not so much a chook as an emu dipped in batter and topped in an inch of cheese. I have never finished the whole thing. The accompanying chips are equally impressive. You can even satisfy your need for greens by nibbling on some foliage as you sit digesting the massive portion of poultry (I always find it hard to stand afterwards).
Perhaps the best thing about the parmas is the ‘parma high‘ you get afterwards. The brutal dose of carbs, protein and roids (neccessary for a chook to be this big) will keep you up all night, sweating out the overdose of goodness. All this for $16 ($12 on tight arse nights).
I expect after you try this parma it will rocket to #1 and stay there.

Every local pub has its own little version of a chicken parma, but I have never seen one advertised on as a Big Arse Cook Parma until the day I entered the Metropolitan Pub that is part of the Metropolitan Meat Market.
As soon as you enter the bar and browse the menu a challenge is laid down to all chicken lovers. As you place your order the barman can see the anticipation in you eyes as he wishes you luck in completing your meal.
You prepare yourself for this fine feed with a few quite James Squires on tap and then your draw drops as they place the Big Arse Chook in front of you. This is not so much a chook as an emu covered in bread crumbs, ham, a tomato source, cheese and basil. The parmalogical magnificence blows you away as you dare to take your first bite into this work of art. The tender full breasted chicken melts in you mouth as the flavours tickle your tastebuds.
Best Parma ever.. 10/10

How could anybody pass up a meal like this. If you check out the superparma official standings, you’ll notice that the Leveson is on top. Stretch can vouch that the Leveson parma doesn’t compare to the Metropolitan Hotel.
