Thornbury’s favourite live music venue and child to two crazy music fans, Tago Mago announces exciting news this week – a new ‘low n slow’ vibe to their menu. The kitchen team who go by the name Limp Brisket have brought their succulent smoked meats and buns to the venue especially for Tago Mago guests. The rich and buttery flavour of the meats can only be brought to life through a real pit smoke barbecue, no electric business. Don’t stress vegan and vegetarians, there are plenty of options for you too. This smokin’ kitchen is open Friday and Saturday, from 6pm-10pm.
Mr Burger is undeniably a staple burger truck and restaurant in our beloved Melbourne city, but how often do you look past the staple Mr Burger choice? Well there’s a whole other world on the menu which I strongly suggest you explore. Mr Meat is like Mr Burgers’ crazy older brother with crispy bacon and smoked BBQ sauce, Pizza Chips marries two of our favourite meals into a loved up box of heaven, and their milkshakes offer simple beauty like peanut putter jelly flavour, double chocolate and ginger-caramel cookie. I’ve been told they throw a handful of ginger-caramel cookies into that one too. Head down to their Brunswick Street store for a cheap, classic, satisfying meal.
You’ve heard of Greek souvlaki’s right? Yes. You’ve heard of Greek salad right? Yes. You’ve heard of Greek doughnuts right? ‘Ahh no’ is usually the response I get when talking about Lukumades, Australia’s first food truck and store solely dedicated to the dessert from which it takes its name – delicious pastries made of deep fried dough soaked in syrup, chocolate sauce or honey, with cinnamon and sometimes sprinkled with sesame or grated walnuts. The team live by the simple philosophy that ‘we do one thing, and we do it well.’ Yes you may be able to find loukoumandes at tavernas and restaurants accompanied with waffles and sweets, but no one has just focused on the doughnuts. Aside from the classic, there are many variations to try such as Tella Classic (with nutella and crushed biscuit), Dark Delight (with dark chocolate, crushed pistachios and hazlenut gelato) and even Vegan (with maple syrup).
