Chef Darren McGrady has cooked for queens and princesses. For 15 years, he held court in the kitchen of Buckingham Palace during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign and served as Princess Diana’s personal chef. Now, he’s hawking fish and chips out of a Vancouver, Washington food cart., opened Winston’s British Fish N Chips in early March, serving fried cod, chicken wings, and smoked fish chowder out of a church parking lot.
McGrady’s vision of true-to-form, British fish and chips prizes cod above any other fish, with scratch-made mushy Marrowfat peas or curry sauce, plus the customary malt vinegar. That exact iteration, using frozen-at-sea Alaskan cod and Yukon Gold potatoes, is now served at Winston’s. For dipping, the food truck offers its own chippy sauce, a vinegar-based brown sauce McGrady says is a specialty regional to Edinburgh.
“I wanted the food truck to be the Harrod’s of food trucks,” McGrady says. “The presentation has to be beautiful — we designed the [takeout] box and have the London Times [tissue] paper in there.” But Winston’s takeout containers aren’t just designed for form, they were also crafted with specific function in mind.
