Seth Troxler Brings His Culinary Skills to Future Music Festival
World renowned DJ Seth Troxler has built himself a reputation for rocking the dancefloor, but Future have a surprise for food lovers – wait till you taste what he can do in the kitchen. Back in 2011, a Pulse Radio ADE cook-off saw noteworthy DJs trade in their headphones for chef hats and chopping boards. Invited to an intense cook-off in front of a live audience and judging panel (including ex-professional chef Paul Oakenfold), one man proved a culinary giant… Troxler!
Troxler has since taken out the ADE top honour for three years running now, and in August 2013 put his mad kitchen skills to good with a new venture: East London pop-up restaurant Smokey Tails. Serving American smoked meats and cocktails, in 2015 Troxler will bring his delicious skills to Future Music Festival’s Food District. Think mac & cheese, buffalo wings, 16 hour smoked spiced BBQ. He’s already housed Smokey Tails at events such as Lovebox and Wilderness festivals in the UK< and now it’s Australia’s turn. Smokey Tails will headline Future’s food precinct in each city, which will also feature over seven different and delicious food trucks – vendors varying from state to state, and ready to fill the hungriest music-loving stomach.
In Melbourne you’ll be able to feast on Hammer and Tong, the outlet renowned for soft shell crab burgers, short rib cheeseburgers and potato waffle fries. Also on site will beHoy Pinoy, Filipino BBQ and street food connoisseurs, who’ll top up your energy level quick smart. Vegetarians: we’d never forget you. Mushroom Co. is the home of marinated mushroom, haloumi and ratatouille burgers. Is your mouth watering yet? Perhaps Nuoc Mama’s Food Truck will tickle your fancy, bringing authentic Vietnamese to Future for super fresh tastes. Got a craving for classic South American cuisine? Head to Senor BBQ.
In Sydney, we’ve got Agape – Australia’s largest organic licensed restaurant, who’ll be using local, in-season ingredients to tempt you. They’re joined by Tsuru Asian Truck(pork belly anyone? Yum!) Bite Size Delights (handmade pita pockets and pastizzi) and Monster Rolls (who reckon they’re “ready to get their dance on!” – think fresh based baguettes and signature sauces), and more.
The music doesn’t stop here: Smokey Tails food precinct will feature a DJ booth, where you might find a surprise guest jumping on the decks… And, of course, all this eating and music comes with a special bar, so don’t forget to grab yourself a cocktail.
