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".
