Morgan & Andy are a couple of vagabond chefs with a pretty good idea of flavour. For the past 20 years they’ve tracked down and gathered up the best the world has to offer. Orient-encrusted, crisped and spiced, or slow, smooth and distinctly Southern, a Vagabond dish is all about big-world flavours. From a humble little truck. That will take you on a trip and a half.

And the opposition - battling a namesake association with one of the worlds dodgiest regimes, the Korean Fried Chicken Vagabond Bowl promises to drop bombs, but only on your tastebuds. With Gochuchang mayo and Bulldog sauce, it will deliver on its promise of a flavour explosion with no bulldogs actually harmed in the making #votevagabond #canterburyhospitalityawards #chevrons
Today is all about the vote, New Zealand! A late entry to the race, this guy has no real party affiliation except for the party in your mouth.

A Vagabond Chefs classic - Korean Fried Chicken, Gochuchang mayo, Bulldog sauce. It's been on the menu from the day we opened, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Tag a mate along with your favourite flavour, and the two of you could win two Bao buns each and an equally famous loaded fries to share at next Friday's Street Food Market. We'll comment on the winning post! #bao #foodtruck #chcheats #competition
