Sydney customers visiting Wollongong's Char Char Bar & Grill kept asking owner George Geagea to bring his Gaytime shakes and beef and pork ribs to the big smoke, so he had a novel idea. Rather than opening another restaurant, he's just finished building a food truck. "We'll take it on tour this week," he says. "Thursday we'll do Summer Hill then ​Castle Hill on Friday. The plan is to introduce other suburbs and we've just had approval from the City of Sydney as well.''

Geagea uses his mother's secret recipe for the rib sauce, which he says combines South African flavours with a French twist. "But the big selling point is doing a really good rib at a decent price," he adds. "You'll get about four ribs and chips for $15."
