Why Barbecue
They say Barbecue started in the south and you cant get much
more south then "Australia" ! So Aussom Aussie came to compete
in the USA and Canada in 1988 to prove that Aussie style BBQ
could in fact be a true competitor at the best contests in the
world.
Aussom Aussie was convinced by "Billy Bone's" to compete on a
regular basis in the USA and Canada along with his wife "Hot
Sauce Sharon" and we soon began running our team with their
guidance. Billy Bone is one of the grandfathers of
barbecue from Sandford Michigan, where is that? you may ask,
Billy says its half way between Climax and Paradise! If you look
on the map you'll soon see he's not lying and you'll realize
that he is one of the greatest characters in the industry today.
He writes for multiple trade magazines and is often quoted and
consulted by industry professionals
So then why BBQ and its real simple there is no standard in
BBQ - in fact there is not even a standard way to spell it (BBQ,
Barbecue, Bar-b-que, Barbie, Bar-B-Cue) so it should be no
surprise that it can be as unique as the places that you
can find it. People mostly believe that different regions
create different flavors within barbecue and it is often true
when you discuss the origins of certain chefs. So its a natural
to have Aussom Aussie Australian BBQ company competing and
showing just how they do it down under. Paul Hogan got it
started way back in the 70's with "throw another shrimp on the
Barbie" and since then Paul "Aussom Aussie" Mackay has continued
that tradition with "throw another Rib on the Barbie".
