Plucky’s founding tale is one of serendipity, with the lockdown providing the perfect catalyst for culinary discovery. Heinrich Herboth, originally a graphic designer drawn to the world of advertising, later explored clothing design but found his true calling when he discovered his love for food while working as a waiter.
Influenced by cherished memories of his mother’s cooking, Heinrich’s approach to creating new dishes was inspired, blending multiple recipes and infusing them with his own unique touch.
Drawing inspiration from a flavour bomb experience he had years ago, Heinrich embarked on a mission to craft a concept that would tantalise taste buds and uplift spirits.
Together with Kim McNulty, who brought years of experience in the hospitality space to the table, they meticulously designed Plucky’s Fried Chicken Korean Style, bringing a fusion of Korean-inspired dishes to Cape Town’s food-loving community.
