Power of Three

It’s a tie! Scotland has not ONE, not TWO, but THREE champions, as the 2023 Scottish Street Food Awards – hosted by the Neighbourgood Market – is shared by Choola, Bia and Fred’s Backyard Barbecue. That’s two more Golden A-Boards from our masters of branding at Majisign. With Wanderers Kneaded taking the People’s Choice. In literally the most even heat in the 13-year history of the British Street Food Awards, special mention from the judges – the food editor at the Scotsman Gaby Soutar, comic Jay Lafferty and Conor Toomey, the Head Chef from the Michelin-starred Condita – went to Black Pearl Creole Kitchen, The Falafel Stop, Okanda, Delightfully Delicious, Sando, Mint Wraps and the Funnel Cake Co. So all FOUR winners now go the grand finals at Hackney Bridge in London on August 18-20 (tickets here). And, just maybe, the grand finals of the European Street Food Awards hosted September 29-October 1 in Germany.
