The Saturday food-truck roster, finally written down
Five regulars, two rotating, one wildcard. We made a list so you stop asking us in the comments.
Issue 47 · Autumn in the precinct
Wedged between Fortitude Valley and Newstead, Bowen Hills has a habit of doing the small things very well. Pop-up dinners in old warehouses. Saturday food trucks behind a panel-beater. Two streets that get more interesting every six months. This is where we keep notes on it.

Eight years running. The schnauzer parade still happens at noon. Bring water, bring tolerance.
Sixteen distillers under one roof on Abbotsford Road. Bring a designated walker, not driver.
Two cheesemakers, three rosés, one slightly chaotic courtyard. RSVP early or miss out.
Twelve bars, one drink, a leaderboard nobody asked for. The Tropic Lab edition won, again.
Burnt ends are back on Tuesdays. The brisket roll has new pickles. That is the entire post.

The events worth blocking out, the ones you can skip, and the ones we always forget to mention.
Rotating shortlist of where we actually go. Pizza, dumplings, the coffee that does not disappoint.
Reservations across our regulars. We do not take a cut. We just got tired of texting links.
Longer pieces and the back-catalogue live in the Journal, including a few archive entries like the original Tiny Dog Festival from 2020 that became the prototype for Dogs Day Out. The slowly-growing directory of trades and small businesses we recommend around the precinct is The Local List. New to the column? The about page explains who writes it and why.
