ABBF’s World’s On Fire BBQ Program

Indigenous fire cooking from around the world curated by Alana Brabin and Sarah Turner

African Kitchen Project (AFRICA) is a special collab for ABBF by The African Women’s Federation of South Australia. The AWFOSA exists to empower African women by providing avenues for resolving issues that affect them as women and new migrants.

Dilicious Timor (TIMOR) by César Trinito Freitas Gaio in Australia for the first time, exclusively to Adelaide Beer & BBQ Fest. He speaks 4 languages and as director and head chef of Dilicious is passionate about bringing authentic Timor flavours to the world.

Sicilian Smoke Out (ITALY) is Lorena Corso, coming to Beer & BBQ Fest from Sicily via Melbourne and is bringing Sicilian charcoal cooking with her.

Something Wild (AUS) should need no introduction. Since 2016 Daniel Motlop’s business has been at the forefront of First Nations flavours like Wild Boar, Crocodile, Buffalo, Camel and Goat.

Moi An Viet Street Food (VIETNAM) “please eat” in Vietnamese. Firing recipes brought to Adelaide post-Vietnam war like Nem Nướng, garlicky and sweet BBQ pork grilled over charcoal.

ABBF’s Low & Slow BBQ Program

Black Iron Smokers (NSW) are serious! Trundling across the Hay Plain with their 1150-gallon, hand built Texas-style offset names Jimmie they were voted Number 1 BBQ Catering Operation by the Australian BBQ Alliance Peer Vote category.

Cheekies x Fancy Hanks (Vic) is what happens when you cross Adelaide’s best fried chicken joint with Melbourne’s best BBQ Joint. Mike Patrick from Fancy Hanks has been to ABBF before but this collab will be one to watch!

Smokey Uppercuts (Whyalla) are venturing out of the Iron Triangle for their first time. They are the best in regional South Australia and we are looking forward to stacking them up against the city-slickers.

Sneaky Pickle x Signature Smoke (QLD) is another interstate collaboration tastebud were invented for. Sneaky Pickle’s Amanda and Jeff are Australian BBQ royalty and this year they are dragging their QLD buddies, who just happen to be lauded multi-award-winning BBQ team Signature Smoke, over to play with them at ABBF.

And welcoming back to ABBF Smokin Grillers x Boston Bay Smallgoods (Pt Lincoln) and fresh off touring Meatstock up and down the East Coast RGs Grill.

Burgerhead (NSW) arguably one of Sydney’s best burger joints is making the journey to Adelaide and bringing all their famed Smashed Angus Beef Patty with them.

Co-Director of ABBF Aaron Sandow says this is the festival’s strongest and most diverse BBQ line-up.

“BBQ is so many different things to different cultures and we are so proud to welcome chefs, producers and fire cooking experts from all over the world to Adelaide in July. Alana & Sarah’s care and collaboration with the likes of the African Women’s Federation of SA is an example of the power festivals have to spotlight global culture.” said Sandow.
