Overview
If you're a fan of God's gift to vegetables, boy do we have some news for you. Melbourne-born ethical fast food institution, and promoters of the best chips in the universe, Lord of the Fries, have landed in Wellington with their first store.
The much-loved Aussie chippery first hit the streets in 2004 as a food truck in Melbourne. The initiative was started by Mark and Mandy Koronczyk after the pair discovered a mutual love of fries and conscience to help build a better world by finding an alternative solution to the chemical and beef-tallow-laden fries swallowing the market.
Hence, the Lord's offerings sit atop a 100 percent vegetarian menu, using oil free of chemicals, preservatives and animal products. In addition to the addictive fries, menu items include plant-based patties, hot dogs, nuggets and poutine.
The chain now has ten stores across the ditch and three in Auckland, with plans to expand across Asia in the not-too-distant future. The new Wellington store can be found at 117 Cuba Street. It's open now.
