What fuels tradies has changed and not just on the road
The tradie-approved ute snacks that keep Lee Elliott on the goLee Elliott is possibly best known as the last man standing on season two of The Bachelorette Australia on Network Ten, when bachelorette Georgia Love finally revealed he was, ‘the one’.
Tradie Elliott takes carsales through his colours of the rainbow day on a plate – whether he’s perched behind the wheel of his Isuzu D-MAX or at the helm of a four-burner cook-top.
Synonymous with the meat pie and a 600ml Coke at smoko, the tradie has a vastly different work diet than most of us do. Although things are changing with many choosing health and fitness to help get them through rather than a meat pie, a vanilla slice or a potato scallop/cake/fritter while on the road. It's with this evolution that we ask Lee Elliott about his tradie diet of now.
