The street food kiosk, located at the Barras Market, was only open on weekends<\/a> between 12pm and 4pm.<\/p>\n

And the much-loved venue was popular for its Taiwanese burger buns, loaded salt and chilli fries and Monster munchie boxes, which all have a Scottish twist.<\/p>\n

Many flocked to the food spot for its famous Irn Bru<\/a> chilli chicken for a special promise to cure any hangover.<\/p>\n

But on Saturday, boss Colin Jenkinson revealed that he was shutting up the kiosk and had pulled the shutters down for good.<\/p>\n
