If we were in the States, there’d be red, white and blue bunting all over the place. Fireworks, marching bands, BBQs – 4th July parties are the stuff of legends. Downunder, we don’t waste time with all that fanfare. We go straight to the heart of things – the food.
Head to Joe’s Bar & Dining Hall from the 4th July for four days of hand-on-your-heart, artery clogging American patriotism.
The pop up menu will be big on Southern-style favourites. Try Chipotle brisket with the strange scone/potato side they like to call ‘biscuits’, pulled pork with jalapeno slaw, fried chicken, even a New York cheesecake complete with a real Graham Cracker Crust.
Chef Katrina Kigham’s piece de resistance will be the Louisiana-style Crab Boil. Brand new on the menu and big enough to share, this is definitely not date food. You’ll get your hands dirty cracking into the crab.
