A Brand New Pop-Up Pork Festival Is Coming to Brisbane
Yep, it's an entire mini-festival dedicated to all the porky goodness you can eat.
Like bacon? Ham? Or any other meat that comes from the animal Homer Simpson once dubbed magical? You're in luck. From May 18 to 29, all things pork are taking over Hive Cafe in James Street, courtesy of a new pop-up mini-festival.
A genius idea from Danielle Dixon, chef of Secret Laneway Business, PigOut PopUp is possibly the most mouthwatering pop-up for pork lovers we've heard of yet. Prepare to overindulge for twelve days of pork goodness, including the dishes you already love, like pulled pork croquettes, those infamous Fat Elvis doughnuts everyone is always making, plus jalapeno cornbread with Byron Bay bacon, poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise. The festival will also include some tasty new surprises of the top secret and yet to be revealed variety.
Sound tasty? Of course it does — and the daily-changing menu is certain to keep you on your pork-loving toes. This isn't just your usual array of pork dishes, either, with guest chef concoctions by celebrated Australian culinary maestros also part of the fun.
If you're looking for entertainment in addition to something tasty to eat, there'll be cook-offs and masterclasses on offer as well. Add a special brunch event on May 23, and a closing party extravaganza on the 29th, and that's your pork-filled fortnight covered. You won’t want to eat anything else.
Find PigOut PopUp at Hive Cafe James Street, 15 James Street, Fortitude Valley. For more info, visit their Facebook page.
