About the Cart: The Kilted Kitchen, owned by Deschutes County Republican Chair Scott Stuart, offers barbecue with a Scottish flair. The menu includes sandwiches including beef brisket, pulled pork and grilled chicken, along with a 1/3 pound banger sausage and a Scotch egg — a hardboiled egg wrapped in fried sausage. All dishes are served with slaw and flat, potato crisp fries. They also sell the popular neon-orange Scottish soft drink Irn-Bru that tastes a little like caramel bubble gum.

Your first order should be: Dani Mrdutt, Stuart’s daughter, recommended folks start with either The Bruce, their beef brisket sandwich, or The Queen, their chicken sandwich. The Queen has a sweet and spicy coleslaw on top of the chicken with sweet, spicy pickles throw into the cabbage mixture. Their salad cream sauce adds a tang to their flat french fries.

Fun fact: Mrdutt said Scottish food is similar to American food, but that the difference mostly comes in their sauces and spices, which can be most noticed in their Scotch egg recipe. Common spices include coriander, cumin and nutmeg.
