Morty’s Joint, Sawtell – SMH Good Food app listing
Bianca Wendt and Ric Divola have moved away from Bar Que Sera in Sawtell, but you can still catch their meals next door at Morty’s Joint. You can often find their blue cattle dog, Morty, sunning himself out front or wandering from table to table picking up fries (and french fries).
Whole free-range birds are shredded to make Nashville-style MFC (Morty’s Fried Chicken), which is twice-fried, dipped in duck fat chili oil, and served as a two-piece fodder or loaded onto a burger with yuzu mayonnaise and coleslaw. Other cuts include popcorn chicken, soy and sesame wings, panko crusted schnitzels and chicken gravy. It’s a true locals’ hangout, complete with drink specials, drag bingo, weekly trivia and live music.
