LOCAL ICONWINS PETER KITTLE HOLDEN YOUNG
ENTREPRENEUR SCHOLARSHIP
For long-time friends Angus Kiley, Jim Morrison and Angus
Henderson, good food is a way of life.After a trip around
America, the boys fell in love with the food and wanted to
recreate the American BBQ back home in Adelaide. Unable to
afford to establish a bricks and mortar restaurant, they bought
a food truck advertised on Gumtree and hit the streets.
Their slow-cooked BBQ meats were an instant hit and the
success of their food truck inspired the trio to seek a more
permanent home.
As part of the Renew Adelaide program, they opened up a shop
in the Port in November 2015 under a subsidised lease.They’ve
been so successful, they’ve now taken on an ongoing lease,
independently.
Angus Henderson said,“Setting up in Port Adelaide was
an obvious choice for grew up in the area and have
watched it change over the can see the potential for
the area and wanted to get in on it early and help it grow into
something special.”
“There was a massive opportunity for us to offer great food
as part of the revived precinct at the top end of Commercial
Road. Our business is a bit quirky, so it’s also a good fit with
the unique spaces in historic Port Adelaide.”
In their short existence, their unique food has won them a
few awards, including the big one in the world of BBQ – the
National Creekside American BBQ Battle.Their standard menu
includes smoked ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, ‘slaw,
mac ‘n cheese, potato salad, tots and cornbread.They also
like to experiment with new dishes like smoked turkey breast
and seafood.
And, they can now add the Peter Kittle Holden Young
Entrepreneur Scholarship to their trophy shelf.The prize pack,
part sponsored by the Port Adelaide Enfield Council and valued
at over $10,000, will help them to further grow their business.
In the future, they hope to become an institution in the
Port, “We arrived before the boom and we want to stick
around for the long run” said Angus.
“Port Adelaide is the perfect space to start a business, you
just need to find what you love doing and be specific with
your niche”.
“We want to lead by the area grows, having more
businesses will only help us all grow together by forming a
supportive community around each other.”
As for what you should try when you visit, Jim says that the
brisket is their favourite, “We get quality local meat from
Marino’s, a small butcher in the Central Market, who has
supported us from the start, then we cook it for 18 hours
until its perfect.”
“You’ll need to get in early though because it normally sells
out pretty quick.”
The Peter Kittle Holden Young Entrepreneur Scholarship was a
first time offering in 2016, which enables established businesses
to help nurture young businesses in Port Adelaide.The City of
Port Adelaide Enfield is proud to support the initiative.
