Perfection is a funny thing with brisket...
No matter how many I've cooked, I'm still learning something every single time. Every brisket is different, every fire behaves differently, and every cook teaches you something new.
That's what keeps it interesting. Don't chase perfection instantly—chase progress. If each brisket is a little better than the last, you're heading in the right direction.
Never stop learning

Another catering job today, with Kelly lending a hand
Out at The Old Cheese Factory in Berwick for a young kids birthday party
Time to relax now

Back today at Loaded Barrel Distillery in Rowville for our ticketed events
But we also had my Dad's 70th birthday party, so I thought why not invite everyone along during the day and serve some BBQ for it
Then it was onto the 6pm session with a full house
Kaydan and I did the food service today, and apart from me almost forgetting some vegetarian stuff (good save Courtney) everything went smoothly
Hope you all enjoyed!

Two years ago today I walked through the doors at Kelly's Meats for my first shift.
This was the post they put up after day one...
"Come in and bust his chops." 😂
I honestly didn't know what the next two years would look like, but they've been some of the best years of my working life.
What started as a few days a week in the shop has turned into so much more. I've met thousands of customers, talked endless BBQ, helped create some pretty wild sausages, learnt a heap from the team, and been lucky enough to work alongside some great people.
To everyone who's stopped in for a chat, asked for cooking advice, bought a snag, or supported both Kelly's Meats and Booma's BBQ—thank you. Your support has meant more than you probably realise.
A massive thanks to the Kelly's crew for backing me from day one, giving me the opportunity to do what I love, and making work feel like hanging out with mates.
Thanks everyone! ❤️🔥

Trimmed and sliced up this lovely piece of Eye Fillet tonight
Thought why not have steak and veg, kids will love that.........
Yeah right 👎
One said, why do I still have to chew, I don't wanna chew the meat
And the other goes, this meat is lovely, to then only eat half of it
Bloody kids these days
Looks like it is back to pasta with butter 😢😭

Let's play a game 🎯
Just about to load up the fridge with a heap of Briskets
24 of them to be exact, 12 of them are Wagyu 6/7 mbs and the other 12 are 8/9mbs
What's the total weight?
You get 1 guess, and the closest guess is gonna win a Masterclass ticket (if local) otherwise it will be a rub/sauce pack
What you think?
Ok.....closest guess at midday is currently 140gms off, I'm going to give it till this evening and then will call it
