BBQ Trip Report & Pics


Well on sunday i woke up quite hungover from a big saturday night, called gaz and arranged to head to his place at bout 1:30 grabbed my knives and away i went, Got to gaz's and a friend of his Nick was down for the weekend so off we went to do the shopping for the most anticipated BBQ in the history of BBQ's, At fidels on thursday night i was wondering what kind of hole id dug myself into with the amount of food i said we would get and cook. Anyway we goto prahran market and all the good places are shut so we goto the Vic market where gaz stalls in the middle of the road on the way into the carpark and screwed with this guy trying to get past, this guy was mega pissed off. So we head into the meat and seafood area and away we go.


Lobsters

2kgs Prawns

1kg Scallops

3kg's lamb cutlets

12 pork chops

A massive rib eye roast prob 4-6kg's

Plus Mash Potato

So then we go back to gaz's to pick up matty then we head to vintage cellars to get the booze.

Slab of coronas, couple bottles of wine, bottle of champagne and a bottle of coke lol.

Then we arrive at The Pond, this was my first visit to the pond but i had heard alot about it. This place is very nice. Big appartment etc. Nice pool and spa. So as we arrive Nick has just woken up and doesnt look too good, He had a big night out for his birthday the night before.

I get to work on setting up the BBQ and get the rib eye on. As people start arriving. There was 10 of us in total. Gaz, Nick, Matt, Arul, Nick(seawasp), Cory, Duzh, Rosa, Luke And Me. And we had enough food to feed 25 with leftovers lol.

Also the UFC Pay-Per-View was on, we missed the live telecast and the first replay so we watched the second replay. I havent watched UFC for a few years but god this sport is awesome. And of course instantly prob bets are on.

Once the rib eye was ready it looked something like this.

I was suprised how good the food ended up being, Many thanks must goto my right hand man. Gaz, Even though all i think he did was chop chilli and eat the lobsters lol.
