Chicken Nugget Festival
Prepare for a feast of nuggets — in burgers, with hot sauce and as dessert.
Overview
If you often rue the day in your adolescence that chicken nuggets became an unacceptable item to eat for dinner, well, Christmas has come early. This weekend, Welcome to Thornbury will take fried chicken back to junk food basics and throw its first Chicken Nugget Festival.
The permanent food truck park will dedicate November 11 to nuggets, with a vast selection ranging from traditional nuggets all the way through to a nugget burger, specially produced by Mr Burger. Welcome to Thornbury will also be serving their homemade Szechuan sauce and platters from Melbourne Hot Sauce for your dipping needs.
The full lineup includes Shaun's Nuggs, Hot Star Melbourne, Roadrunner Fried Chicken and many more. Welcome to Thornbury has also announced a dessert nugget from Dip'd Gourmet Mini Donuts to complete your three-course nugget experience. The festival is free entry but bring a gold coin donation — all the money raised will go to Melbourne Legacy.
This single day festival kicks off at 11am and ends at 10pm, so chicken nuggets will be in full force right up until the eleventh hour.
