After record high temperatures around town today, I think everyone had the same idea – no fucking cooking tonight! No way, no how, no body wants to turn up the heat in the kitchen at home if it is at all avoidable.
Mr K suggested Carolina’s Kitchen in Coorparoo (2/38 Macauley Street, Coorparoo Qld 4151) for some ribs and wings or burgers and chilli dogs and all good Aussie, err… American foodstuffs. I looked them up online attempting to find a menu, but couldn’t find one anywhere, because the unassuming little diner with what is rumoured to be the best ribs in town, doesn’t have a website. Go figure.
For the four of us here for dinner tonight, we ordered a Carolina Pack, a Gourmet Burger, and two Cheeseburgers. I have to say the ribs were beautiful… I was quite impressed, thick, juicy and delicious. The wings on the other hand… well, I’ve had better. They were a bit dry and nothing to write home about. New York Fries were yummy and the guys enjoyed their burgers by all accounts. It was nice and all, but I actually think it’s a bit over priced, perhaps because I was in the US a few months ago and these things were so much cheaper.
Anyway, I would happily have their ribs again… pay day treat or something.
(Made a mental note to grab a menu or take a pic of the bill of fare).
