After its inaugural basting in Melbourne last year, the Yak Ales Sydney Barbecue Festival is heading our way for a day of richly marbled, charcoal-roasted, hand-filleted delights.
Inspired by the growing popularity of Southern-style cuisine in Australia, the festival is modelled after the many traditional barbecue festivals staged across the United States. The event is also promising a celebration of local produce and barbecuing talent.
There will be food stalls to sink your teeth into as well as cooking demos by some of Sydney’s finest pitmasters and culinary wunderkinds. Also on the menu are equipment exhibitors showcasing the latest local and international barbecue products, and live entertainment and DJs.
And if all this is not enough, the barbie maestro in your family will be able to enter a team in the Barbecue Festival Cook-Off, the winner of which will have the opportunity to represent Australia at internationally renowned barbecue contests overseas.
It all amounts to a vegan-free zone in The Domain on Saturday January 30. Tickets are on sale now.
