Mighty Car Mods duo to open restaurant in Sydney

While they’re globally famous for their automotive show on YouTube, the boys behind Mighty Car Mods have gone in a wildly different direction for their latest extra-curricular activity.

Although Blair “Moog” Joscelyne and Marty Mulholland are famous for their car-related shenanigans (including painting a car with beer and using avocado to clean their headlights) in their tenth year of MCM they are opening a restaurant at 125 Enmore Road, Enmore, in Sydney’s inner-west.

Opening in late April, the restaurant will be called Wish Bone (like the suspension, get it?) and it is in partnership with famed Sydney chef Gregory Llewellyn, who is the culinary genius behind Hartsyard.

“Back in 2016 we started making a cooking video series with Gregory as host, and with us behind the scenes,” explains Moog.

“Somehow this crazy idea came up that we could join forces and open a restaurant, and that’s pretty much how we roll. We decided to do it, and the result is Wish Bone.”

“While it isn’t an automotive themed restaurant keen-eyed MCM fans will pick the manga bombing, neon Chopped fingers, tow hooks and actual wishbone suspension holding the tables up, so they’ll know that they’re in the right place.

“There will be a great selection of local beers and you can eat in, or take away, with the efficiency of a Japanese noodle shop.

Using automotive context to explain the concept of having simple food done by a hatted chef, Wish Bone will be the experience of getting your Daihatsu Mira built by a Formula One mechanic.

The boys hope Wish Bone will strengthen the cultural link between American diner-style eats and cars, which dates all the way back to Drive-In restaurants of the 1950s and ‘60s.
