Eats and Beats

Overview

It has only taken a year or so, but Brisbanites have a new tradition: flocking to food trucks and feasting on their delicious treats. It's easy, tasty and can be put into practice any old time. Indeed, barely a day goes by without cuisine-cooking vans converging on a park, corner or street.

This week, a certain Swedish retailer becomes the latest place to satisfy your appetite — and yes, there's more than meatballs on the menu. Taking over the Ikea Logan Forecourt, Eats and Beats turns a pop-up event into a party, with a little help from all the mobile eateries you know and love.

That'd be King of the Wings, Little Back, Sushi Neko Food Van, Fiery Deli, Vira Lata Food Truck, Viva Paella, Pizzantica, Puerto Taco, Yummi Fruit Ice-Creamery and Grandmas Kiwi Kitchen, just to name a few. Dave Power, Neighbour, Inigo and PocketLove will provide the mood-setting music, so all you need to do is turn up. Who knew heading to Ikea could be so enticing?
