Overview
At a time when every food truck in Brisbane seems to be opening their own permanent store, a Coorparoo favourite is bucking the trend. After five years of delighting Eastsiders with their hearty American dishes, Carolina Kitchen is expanding their operations and opening their own food truck.
Later in October, expect to find their meals-on-wheels offering elsewhere across the city, serving up all the dishes regulars know and love. They might not quite be able to recreate the diner experience, complete with red-and-white chequered tablecloths, with their new truck, but fans of their food won't be complaining.
For those fond of warm, baked, crusty goodness in both sweet and savoury guises, that means more chances to wolf down a traditional US-style pie. Their key lime, pumpkin, apple and pecan are well-loved treats, plus their cherry pie takes the fancy of more than just Twin Peaks aficionados. And yes, it is damn fine indeed.
This isn't the first time the eatery has jumped ahead of the pack, with their menu of hoagies, burgers, hotdogs, barbecue ribs, Buffalo wings and New York-style fries somewhat of a rarity when the store opened. Now, American flavours can be found all over the city, though this slice of Carolina remains a must-eat destination.
Find Carolina Kitchen's permanent store at 38 Macaulay Street, Coorparoo, and keep an eye on their Facebook page for further details of their food truck.
