Recently, locals Chris McLaren and his son Nic attended the Steak Cookoff Association World Championship in Fort Worth, Texas. On March 9th, the pair met up with an awesome team called DB180, who provided them with equipment including Hasty Bake Barbeques and anything else the duo needed for them to compete successfully. During the day, they practised using USA steaks on the barbeques and realised how differently USA beef cooks from New Zealand beef.

This saw around three hundred and fifty competitors split across three groups, with Nic competing in this. Nic managed to place forty fourth in his pool which was a massive achievement. “We are absolutely over the moon with what we achieved on the world stage of Steak Cookoff competitions, I had a goal to make the Finals, and I actually not only achieved it but achieved it with the highest score of the Ancillary competition.
