Myself and
@evsky decided to enter this comp. We've made it to the finals and go head to head against 4 other teams next week with the winners getting a trip to the states next year. Yes it's basically grilling but it's one helluva prize. We will be on national tv and hopefully take out the championship.

Well what a day that was! Unfortunately we came runners up by 1 point :'( But we had a lot of fun and cooks went really smooth. Here's the link to the TV piece-

The comp took place in the Novatel Hotel on Manly beach. We new it was going to be hot and it was 104f and a total fire ban across the state which meant no kettles were allowed to be used so we had to cook everything on a Genesis.

So with that curve ball thrown at us we had to rewire how we were going to cook our proteins for the day.
Everything turned out really well and couldn't of gone smoother
Here's our dishes for the day
