Overview
The quest to discover the best barbecue in Melbourne continues this week at St Kilda’s Newmarket Hotel. After previous head-to-heads against the chefs from San Telmo, Kong and Fancy Hanks, the latest edition of the BBQ Throwdown will see the hosts challenge Hellenic Republic, in what can only be described as a chargrilled championship bout.
Taking place this Sunday, July 5, the BBQ Throwdown lasts for three rounds, with the ultimate victor chosen by the diners. First up, Newmarket’s house smoked honey bug will take on Hellenic’s hot smoked ocean trout.
Second comes the battle of the bones, with the home team’s St Louis pork rib against beef short rib from the visitors. Lastly Newmarket will serve up spit-roasted spiced lamb with charred eggplant and burnt end taquito; whether it can bring down Hellenic’s pork souva with fermented cabbage and apple slaw still remains to be seen.
Tickets to the BBQ Throwdown cost $85 and can be booked online. The lunch sitting is already sold out, but you can still grab a spot for dinner.
