Here's what I got back:

A friend of mine is headed to Melbourne & Canberra for 2 weeks. He's asked for "foodie" suggestions. Do you have any recommendations I can pass along?

He is looking for both places to eat and food-oriented things to do, like great markets, fishermans' wharfs, etc. Things I would like to do.

Melbourne, yes. Canberra, no. Melbourne has great alleyways in the city area. In the area bordered by Swanston and Elizabeth st, Bourke St to Market St has all manner of interesting laneway cafes and bars. Fitzroy (suburb) along Brunswick and Smith St, has an interesting range of pubs and bars. St Kilda on Acland St also has some good restaurants, bars and cafes. Lygon St in Carlton is great for Italian and Swan St in Richmond is Vietnamese food. The best market is the Queen Victoria Market just north of the city. All of these places are easily accessible by foot or public transport.
