Brisbane now boasts
some of the best restaurants and cafes in the country. Of late, the focus of food
entrepreneurs seems to have shifted to food trucks, which are becoming popular
not just in Brisbane but Australia wide. The city’s multicultural milieu is
reflected in the range of cuisines on offer, tempting locals and visitors
towards their delicious fare.
Many food
truck owners do not like being restricted in what cuisine they cook. Conformity
is out, innovation is in. The result has been a sporadic rise in the number of
food trucks that are willing to bend the rules and bring out food that has never
before been seen in their native lands. Some attempts at fusion food have also
gained admirers among the harshest critics. And yet, there is room for more.
Popular Food Choices for Street Food in Brisbane
Barbeque: The messiest of street foods still
remains a big draw. The secret seems to be an unpretentious, but by no means
simple style. Slow smoked pulled pork shares space with braised ribs and beef
brisket. Roasted vegetable salads and corn salsa that accompany them are
terrific by their own right. It is not just the legendary American barbeque
that draws the crowds, European and Asian styles are wildly popular options for
food truck entrepreneurs.
Burgers: This often goes hand in hand with the barbeque
serving food trucks, but a large number of people prefer to have their meat
served between slices of fresh bread or buns. This is the hallmark of these
food trucks. Fusion makes its presence felt here more than anywhere else with
an array of cuisines being incorporated into the classic burger. Some of the
most innovative chefs have created sandwiches, buns, and burgers that defy
belief. They are a treat for the eyes as they are for the taste buds.
Regional: Mexican and Asian food reign supreme
here. Yet others are making their presence known, and Brisbane loves it. A host
of little heard of dishes are now the talk of the town as gastronomic delights
from around the world are making their way to the streets of Brisbane via food
trucks where food truck owners are becoming even more experimental than
restaurant chefs.
Drinks: The ever dependable cup of coffee has never been
more accessible, with food truck owners also offering cold drinks, milkshakes and
juices along with freshly baked muffins, cakes, and
cookies.
Perennial
favourites like pizza and ice-cream are still great food truck ideas,
and continue to be popular at all times of the year. There are a number of wood fired pizza food
trucks roaming the streets of Brisbane right now and judging by their
popularity, there’s plenty of room for more. With some dedication, almost
anyone with a passion for cooking can start a food truck business. A little
business acumen and a custom built food truck can turn a good idea into a
veritable success.
