Not since the days of Paul Hogan has it been so much fun to say “Put another shrimp on the Barbie” for not since then (if even then) has there been such an authentic (and Bonzer) Australian food place in the Boston area. In fact, according to owner Samuel Jackson (no “S”), it is the only place of its kind in all of New England!
From the hand-rolled titular meat and veggie pies, chicken schnitzel burgers and the KO take on fish and chips to mushy peas and fortifying ANZAC cookies, KO knocks out trays of sustainable, locally-sourced Down Under delicacies for one or 100. For “brekky,” lunch or dinner. They even have Australian groceries like Tim Tams and the ever-famous Vegemite.
So whether or not you have dined on devon or even know what it is, take a trip to Southie (and now Eastie!) for some southern hemisphere favorites. No matter what tucker you try, you’ll be taking the “Ken Oath” and joining the “gum tree” soon.
