Charcoal Chicken King Rolls Into Largo with Bold Aussie BBQ Flavors
Grand Opening of Andrew Gilfand’s Food Truck Brings Charcoal-Rotisserie Goodness to 7th Street
LARGO, FL — A sizzling new arrival is making its mark in the heart of Largo. Local entrepreneur and culinary craftsman Andrew Gilfand is proud to announce the grand opening of Charcoal Chicken King, a brand-new food truck serving up authentic Australian-style outback barbecue, located just outside Bellair Coffee Wine & Beer at 1158 Seventh St NW, Largo, FL 33770.
The aroma alone is enough to draw crowds, but it’s the food that will keep them coming back. Specializing in charcoal rotisserie chicken, Charcoal Chicken King brings a smoky, savory twist to traditional chicken dishes — all prepared fresh on-site over a slow-burning charcoal flame.
“Our concept is simple: real flavor, cooked over real fire,” says Gilfand. “We wanted to bring something unique to Largo — something hearty, flavorful, and rooted in the kind of laid-back, delicious food you’d find in an Aussie outback roadhouse.”
On the menu, you’ll find mouthwatering options like:
- Charcoal-Roasted Chicken Plates
- Foot-Long Chicken Sandwiches slathered in house-made sauces
- Crisp Chicken Salads with a Smoky Twist
- Golden Rosemary Fries tossed in signature chicken salt, a down-under favorite
Paired with a cold beverage or local wine from Bellair next door, it’s a match made in neighborhood heaven.
Charcoal Chicken King officially opens this week and plans to operate Monday through Sunday from noon to 8 pm. Times may change after they get a better idea of schedules, but as of now, that is their planned schedule to serve lunch and dinner with rotating specials. Whether you’re a longtime local or just looking to try something new, Charcoal Chicken King is bringing the heat — and it all kicks off this Saturday night from 6–9 PM.
