Overview
With Splendour in the Grass just days away, Brisbanites should be getting ready for one of two things: carting their festival survival kit down south, or moping around town with a serious case of FOMO. Thanks to the Southside Tea Room, there's now a third option. Prepare to feast on street food at the inner east's coolest cafe and bar combo.
From July 22 to 26, the beloved Morningside hangout is opening up their beer garden to four of the city's favourite mobile eateries. There's a reason they're calling it a food truck takeover, after all — and not just because their usual meals on wheels joint, Red Robin Supper Truck, has hightailed it to Byron Bay for a weekend of backstage catering duties.
Grab dinner on Wednesday from the fine sandwich-loving folks at How We Rolls, then enjoy the Bone Lorry's burgers on Thursday evening. To properly kick off the weekend, munch on King Of The Wings' fried chicken goodness on Friday. Saturday is a food-truck-free day, but you'll want to rush back for a Mexican brunch from Juan More Taco on Sunday morning.
Delicious bites to eat aren't the only attraction, with Southside's grungier sibling, Death Valley, open for business as well. Pairing several of their ten beers on tap with a feast of bread, meat, wings and tacos sounds like bliss. You'll soon be saying "what music festival?"
Southside Tea Room's Food Truck Takeover runs from July 22 to 26. Check out the event's Facebook page for more information.
