In her latest TikTok video, she claims that Melbourne has turned her into a ‘snob’ and explains why the city is better than others.
Katie started to think about why Melbourne is different from other cities after having a conversation with her mother.
“Maybe it’s because I’m from a really small town where American bar food is all there is and I can only handle a limited amount of chips and salsa and fried shit,” he said.
‘The quality of the food [in Melbourne] It is excellent, their fruits and vegetables are out of this world. I also can’t describe how good their cocktails are!
“The cafes and restaurants really take it seriously and everyone in Melbourne loves good coffee.”
Then Katie hesitated and realized how Melbourne had changed her.
‘Actually what I love is that you have turned me into a snob. So that’s the answer.
