Overview
Venues with standard kitchens: that's so last year. Bars with street food options: that's more like it. Southside Tea Room, Death Valley and Red Robin Supper Truck did it, and now the Brightside and Lucky Egg are too. Yes, it's officially Brisbane's latest trend.
From June 25, the Brightside will say goodbye to the toasted sandwich menu punters have come to know and love, and will say hello to fried chicken goodness served from a shipping container. Burgers and wings are the main attraction, of course — all buttermilk coated, free range and locally sourced.
That means slabs of chicken topped with American cheddar, garlic pickles and spinach, or with Hellmann’s slaw and honey mustard sauce — whichever takes your fancy. Wings come with a choice of blue cheese, honey mustard, chipotle mayo, Asian style kimchi mayo and ketchup. If they taste as good as they sound, all other fast food poultry places will soon be nothing but a memory.
If finger lickin' good food wasn't enough of an attraction, Lucky Egg is also offering two-for-one burgers and wings on their opening day. Whether you devour both yourself, or share with a friend, that's a deal not to miss. Doors open at 5pm, and we suggest arriving early — the early bird gets the cheap chicken, after all.
Find Lucky Egg at the Brightside, 27 Warner Street, Fortitude Valley from June 25, or visit their Facebook page for more information.
