The Little Red Hungry Hood: A foodie’s fantasy
Even with the petrol price, don’t think twice!
Meet the team whose catering and food truck are redefining both fine and fast food.
Food truck culture has grown tremendously over the past few years, with top notch trucks and trailers catering to the cravings of grab-and-go customers, pop-up market patrons and those seeking something sumptuous to enjoy while taking in the scenery.
While most offer a good standard of favourites, others have taken a rather ill-informed route, like using subpar ingredients to imitate popular dishes and or, worse yet, committing culinary blasphemies such as drowning a Doner kebab in perinaise, of all things.
Thankfully, there are those mobile kitchens where quality, creativity and strong gastronomic principles combine to create remarkable meals that elevate the on-the-run eating experience to one you’d run back to.
Awe-inspiring eats every time, anywhere
Enter chef David Thomas and the musketeers of The Little Red Hungry Hood. Renowned for his masterful skills, exploratory approach and passion to share the joy of food with others, three-time African Chef of the Year Thomas' knack for incubating talent is nearly as sharp as his knife skills.
Over years of running highly-lauded restaurants, serving sensational fare in fabulous settings across the world and helping home-grown chefs hold Namibia’s name high, he and three young foodies have set out on an all-new adventure, much to the delight of diners.
The magical musketeers
Ralph and Rachelle Hammerslaght and Keanu Louw, who each boast impressive backgrounds in various sectors of the service and hospitality industry, are the hands and hearts that have propelled an unassuming little red food truck on the sidewalk of Walvis Bay’s central business district to cult status.
The Little Red Hungry Hood takes a bespoke approach to street food, preparing comfort classics in a manner that can only be described as straight out of a fairy-tale.
Bold, hearty and so visual that you can taste it before you even take a bite, exploring your way through the forest of flavours that is their menu, while engaging their infectious energy, will literally have your lunch date looking at you and asking “dude, what big ears you have? What big eyes you have? And yoh, how’d your teeth get so big?!"
Fable puns aside, The Little Red Hungry Hood boasts some of the most delicious food this writer has encountered in a long time. Their Big Bad Wolf Burger is worth planning your holidays around, and that’s not to mention their new-age take on nachos.
With this level of food prepared while you enjoy next-level laughs, it’s clear why this food truck is in hot demand, appearing at everything from birthday parties, school and social events as well as corporate functions.
The team is also always ready to take on exciting new adventures to bring avant-garde African cuisine to touring visitors, local training groups and even your dinner table with their hearty catering services.
