Overview
We've all been there: hankering for some street food eats, or keen on doing a spot of market shopping, but not quite sure where to head at any given moment. It's a #firstworldproblem everyone's happy to have. Yep, this is what it means to be spoiled for choice.
Enter The Street Food Depot, Brisbane's new market and food truck hub, which tries to help in two ways. Basically, they're a one-stop shop when it comes to culinary-focused community events. If they're not throwing them, they're tracking them.
If you've heard of The Food Truck Depot, a series of branded berths and meet-ups around town, then you're on the right track. They're just one part of the nesting doll-type setup that is The Street Food Depot. Basically, alternative, off-the-grid style gatherings that bring local growers, agriculture producers, street food vendors, food trucks, local and regional artisans, wineries, and craft beer brewers — and hungry customers, of course — together are in their wheel house.
After a few get-togethers over the last few months, they'll be hosting a semi-regular Brisbane City Street Food Depot in King George Square from July 28, however that's just the beginning. From August, the James Street Community Markets will usher a host of other food options into New Farm every Friday night. Plus, other events street food, community growers and food truck events planned in the future — keep an eye on their online calendar for further details.
