For that, we thank you, Mike. The ChillaxBBQ crew is honoured to have been part of your celebrations with friends and family. Truly honoured.

We hope you and your guests enjoyed the fare we served up. We did get quite a few verbal recognitions which, of course, keep our spirits high. Thank you. So folks here comes ChillaxBBQ does Saba Saurus’ 50th.

The Beard & Big Bird are back on the tools today after many a ChillaxBBQ apart. Timing has not been our friend of recent events, so it was so so bloody good to have him back today. #knockeditoutthepark

Pork Swag. AKA rolled and stuffed pork belly. Some Thyme and Macadamia nuts in there. Rolled, tied, reverse seared, crackled, and cut into bite-sized pieces. A cracking new dish from ChillaxBBQ.

4 Tomas today. Great work Big Bird. Stunning. These things flew off the BBQ. At one time in the night, we did 3 in a row, literally in a row. One served, next one charring and so on. Amazing!

Char that bad boy Big Bird…

So simple. ChillaxBBQ Tomas. Check the recipe on a blog near you. Keep it simple, it’s all about the meat…

Lamb Popsicles were so very very tasty, but the bloody lamb chops were a nightmare. Not butchered properly so I had to sacrifice my knife and have a couple of massive chunks taken from it to serve up individual chops. Damn it. Won’t be buying those again. Still a wee reverse sear and char, some mint jelly, rosemary, garlic and lemon juice = cracker…

A new concept again. Thanks to Chris at The Cheese Shop for this idea. And thanks to the lads at The Cheese Truck in the UK. Yep, we plagiarised. Here are our cheese toasties with hot salami. Buttered bread, amazing cheese blend from The Cheese Shop, and stunning hot salami from SideCar. Toasted on the BBQ. Sandwiches to die for. Absolutely brilliant!!!

Fast turning into a new signature dish is our Tuna Tataki. A stunning dish. Home-made ponzu, seared tuna steak, a little chopped chive, and fish roe. Things of beauty!!!

The Alaska Guys did us proud again today. A 5Kg Halibut all the way from Alaska was some top fare. Four monster fillets from this bad boy that we cooked in two ways. One was our four fresh herbs and citrus style, and one was more Asian stylee with black beans and garlic. Here’s the herby, citrus one about to be wrapped in foil and steamed.

And it’s soon to follow sister, the black bean a garlic version. Again, wrapped in foil and steamed on the BBQ. A stunning dish. #1 called this out as his favourite dish of the night. That means a lot to The Beard.

The BBQ was intense heat, so about 5 minutes later there is that stunning fish from The Alaska Guys, all plated. A quick squeeze of lemon juice and she is done.

And here is that absolutely off-the-charts Hali with black bean and garlic sauce. Steamed to perfection. She surely is the prime rib of the sea. A cracking dish. This got a lot of accolades. This will surely be a regular now. To give this an Australian alignment we called this Hali’s Butt. Get it?

More Tataki – different fish roe, and we had run out of chives. The word to use is improvising.

And that was that folks. Guests were still arriving at 2130. We were making steak sandwiches at the end which were off-piste. We had special requests for more of this and more of that. We have a conclave of people next to the serving jump that we were serving individually. It was a cracking effort from the ChillaxBBQ crew today. ChillaxBBQ does Saba Saurus’ 50th was incredible.

Massive thanks to Big Bird, Marky Mark, #1, Soph, Jess, and Cass. Good work ladies and gents. You absolutely rocked. It was indeed a #knockedoutofthepark experience. Mike, Happy Birthday again my friend. Thank you so much for choosing ChillaxBBQ for your party.

It was an honour to serve and to meet all your amazing family and friends. Folks if you like what you see, we are only a phone call/email away for you to also be able to – ENJOY!!!
