Kelso's Chop Shop

Overview

Two inner north favourites have joined forces in a perfect meeting of flavours, delivering your tastebuds one helluva treat. Abbotsford sandwich joint Kelso's has added to the family with a spin-off pop-up kitchen, taking up residence at Collingwood's The Mill Brewery.

Dubbed Kelso's Chop Shop, the limited-edition venue is dedicated to the tasty sanga oft thought of as New York's answer to the Philly cheesesteak: the humble chop cheese.

A hero of the Kelso's menu, it's now getting its own moment in the spotlight, with the pop-up serving six different varieties of the supremely lovable sandwich. In the lineup, you'll find the OG 'classic' filled with cheesy, chopped ground beef and all the usual cheeseburger trimmings, along with its veggo-friendly fried tofu cousin.

Also in the mix: a fried chicken number with double cheddar, a meatlovers situation spiked with barbecued pineapple, a grilled prawn sanga and a vegan ode to the fried chook chop cheese.

Of course, whichever you opt for, it'll be in very good company paired with one of The Mill's refreshing craft brews. Cut through that cheesy goddess with a crisp Australian pilsner, or go big with a pint of the hazy NEIPA.

Kelso's Chop Shop will be serving the goods every Friday–Sunday.
