The Thousands

Rory’s inviting you over for dinner. Who’s Rory? Well he’s the young local chef behind the Red Robin Supper Club. Don’t be shy if you don’t know him yet, he’s throwing an open-house dinner party and you’re all invited.

On the night’s menu, at what could be Brisbane’s first pop-up restaurant, is a range of casual food with a fancy twist. Think shiny high-top sneakers rather than tuxedo and bow-tie. Fried chicken with honey aioli, sweet potato and kimchi dumplings, soft shell crab tacos, Cuban-style black beans, and ice cream sandwiches for dessert make up just part of the menu. If you know Rory you can probably guess that the menu pays homage to his recent visit to the United States.

While it sounds like you’ll be full after just one dish, the idea here is to bring a group of mates and share, or just book a seat for yourself and make some new friends.

As proof that all Rory really wants to do is show off his cooking skills, a dollar from each dish will be donated to the Oxfam Stop Hunger Appeal. Held at the Moray Café, this could be a sign of things to come for an inventive young chef on the up.
