hipages and iconic pie institution, Harryʼs Café de Wheels have partnered to create the ʻTradie Pieʼ the first pie of its kind, nutritionally balanced and made for tradies.
Australiaʼs tradies, are in for a treat as a tasty, new fast-food alternative hits stores, promising to energise tradies without sacrificing on flavour.
Ownder and chief executive officer of Harry’s Café de Wheels, Daniel Beuther said, “With a strong team of food professionals with over 50 years of experience behind the recipe, our goal was to elevate the stateʼs most famous pie by tailoring it to tradies and making it healthier — without, of course, losing its delicious flavour. Weʼve achieved exactly that with the Tradie Pie.”
The humble meat pie is the second most popular choice of snack amongst tradies, however, 82 per cent wish there were more, healthy on-the-go options available.
Aussie tradies are guilty of having some of the worst diets in the nation, with research revealing they are prioritising speed over health when it comes to on-the-job meals.
Advanced sports dietitian from My Muscle Chef, Ryan Pinto said, “Given the labour-intensive nature of a tradieʼs day when on the tools, and the fact that 85% have more energy when they are eating better, itʼs so important to give your body the right fuel.”
The collaboration between hipages and Harry’s Café de Wheels have teamed to deliver on the five most important factors to tradies when it comes to their meals: speed (49 per cent), taste (44 per cent), ease (36 per cent), freshness (35 per cent), and health (30 per cent).
Vice president of marketing at hipages, Nicholas Ellery said, “Our mission has always been to help support Aussie tradies both on and off-site, and the Tradie Pie achieves exactly that. Harryʼs Café de Wheels has been the perfect partner to bring this to life, and we canʼt wait for tradies to taste it.”
The Tradie Pie features a delicious blend of high-quality ingredients with 100% locally sourced, premium, Australian chunky lean beef, vegetables including carrots, peas, mushrooms and onions, all bathed in a delicious savoury peppercorn gravy.
