The Bunker’s Industrial Eats food truck is open in full swing this year, continuing their tradition of hosting a fundraiser lunch on The Bunker’s parking lot. We spoke to The Bunker's executive director Kevin Hildebrand last Thursday (May 22), before the lunch rush came by, and he noted the longevity of this fundraiser: “This is something we’ve been doing for a lot of years, on Thursdays over lunch”. The lunches support the work of The Bunker Youth Drop-in Centre programs.
Why pulled pork?
Industrial Eats is widely known for their pulled pork sandwich, and to Hildebrand, the reasoning is simple — “We’ve been doing pulled pork for probably ten years, and it’s just a favourite of people.”
'Spicing things up a little bit this summer'
It’s not just pulled pork you can grab for lunch at Industrial Eats. This year, in addition to a chopped beef sandwich, Industrial Eats is shaking up its menu with a monthly poutine. The month of May features a chicken bacon ranch poutine, and as for future surprise poutines, Hildebrand says “..for June... they’ll have to come here in June to find out what that one’s going to be.”
The Bunker’s Industrial Eats fundraisers run every Thursday in summer, from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm, at 545 Industrial Drive, Winkler.
