    “Everything on the menu is delicious, my favorite is the pulled pork! And the location is perfect, it's near the crowds and the main road, but it's tucked into the trees and has a very chill atmosphere and seating.”

The chemist

Roudy has been tuning the recipe since 2019.

Rusty Lab started in June 2019. Roudy runs the fire, and he never stops experimenting: new sausages, new sauces, new specials. The rusty van is the lab. The rest is fire and passion.
