On this episode of Scran I take a trip to The Pitt in North Edinburgh. Named after its birthplace on Pitt Street, this street food and community hub is doing things a little differently.
I met with founder Hal Prescott who told me all about how the popularity of The Pitt has grown since its beginnings in 2015 and how expansion and a change of location has brought many opportunities and its fair share of challenges.
I also chat to some of the traders who are working out of containers on the new site in Granton. First up is Nicole and Ameer Limbu of Choola, who make amazing bhajis.
Robin Strigner of The Buffalo Truck tells me about being with The Pitt since its inception.
Finally, Andi Spiers Fergusson and Euan Casserley share how their passion to travel has influenced their cooking and the lifestyle choice of running a number of street food businesses.
