Harry's Cafe de Wheels
もう火曜日になっちゃったけど、、、、週末は仕事の友達と食事・買い物したり、あとはプールやジムに行ったりとしたり。あとは、前から行きたかったシドニーの名物ビーフパイのお店に行ってきました。Harry's Cafe de Wheelsっていう、1938年創業の老舗。海軍港の近くにあります。
こんな感じで、ビーフパイの上にでっかくマッシュドポテトと、マッシュドピーがのってるの!アイスクリームのスクイーパーで丸くのせてから、ばしばしと平らにする豪華さ。上のグレービーソースがたまりません、、、ビーフパイの中身もビーフがひき肉ではなくて、さいころステーキぐらいの大きさなのもグッド!
Harry "Tiger" Edwards opened the original caravan cafe, named simply Harry's, near the gates of the Woolloomooloo Naval Yard in 1938. He served with the AIF in World War II, during which time the cafe was not operational. The cart re-opened upon his return from the war in 1945.
The name Cafe de Wheels came about because of the requirement from the city council that mobile food caravans had to move a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) each day. The cart has been moved by the city council five times over the past 55 years, and is now back at its original spot. Local legend tells that the name was temporarily changed to Cafe de Axel at one point when the wheels were stolen.
As the years passed, 'Harry's Cafe de Wheels' gained new fame as a tourist attraction. A visit to the caravan became a 'must' for visiting celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum and Marlene Dietrich. In 1974, Colonel Sanders stopped at Harry's and enjoyed the food so much that he ate three 'pies and peas' while leaning on his walking stick in front of the caravan. A picture of Sanders taken during the visit still hangs in the caravan today.
Harry's specialises in the same basic food today as was popular back in the 1940s, such as pies and mushy peas. During the 1970s Harry's introduced hot dogs, mostly to appease the American sailors.Wikipedia
