EVENT DETAILS

CreativeMornings /Auckland with The Lucky Taco
Friday 28 June, 8:00am - 9:30am
Q Lounge

If there's one thing we love more than creativity at CreativeMornings... It's food. And it just so happens that food is this month's global theme! We are super lucky to have Sarah & Otis Frizzell from The Lucky Taco sharing their creative journey, unique experience and inspirational insights with our CreativeMornings community.

With backgrounds in advertising (Sarah) and graffiti art (Otis), both are incredibly creative professionals in their own right. And now they have decided to combine their considerable talents for a new creative venture, The Lucky Taco - So, what is it?

"Well, when we were in the States in August 2011, we were struck by the amount of tasty and diverse food available from food trucks. Not just any old trucks – super cool, funky eateries on wheels.

As passionate home cooks, we thought it’d be cool to do something similar in New Zealand. The food truck concept is HUGE in the States, and gaining momentum in Australia, but hasn’t really hit Aotearoa yet. There are a few popping up, but none of them have the same aesthetic as the classic Californian Taco Trucks."

Our venue host for this month, Q, is an inspirational, flexible venue, a good place to eat, even a place to experiment. But it’s also a diverse bunch of talented people, who by growing, operating and patronizing such an adaptable theatre space, sustain a whole bunch of other talented people.
