Pitmasters Reunited: An Evening with Bluebonnet BBQ and Micklethwait Craft Meats

Overview

Here's one for all you meatheads out there: Texan barbecue chef Tom Micklethwait is heading to Melbourne. The man behind Austin's famed Micklethwait Craft Meats will join his friend (and one-time pupil) Chris Terlikar of Lygon Street's Bluebonnet Barbecue, where the duo will show off their slow-cooking, wood-smoking expertise to a restaurant full of hungry diners.

Set for Tuesday, February 2 and Wednesday, February 3, this pair of four-course ticketed dinners will give card carrying carnivores the chance to sample world class barbecue in Bluebonnet's newly renovated dining room at the John Curtin Hotel. Each course will be paired with a different beverage, provided by the folks at Nant Distillery, Yak Ales and Pepperjack Wines. And to top it off, 2015 Australian Bar Awards Rookie of the Year Winner Will Sleeman, from Fitzroy's Black Pearl, will be on-hand mixing drinks.

Pitmasters Reunited: An Evening with Bluebonnet BBQ and Micklethwait Craft Meats will be held at the John Curtin Hotel at 29 Lygon Street, Carlton on February 2 and 3. Tickets cost $98 plus booking fee, and are available through Moshtix.
