Their love of international food, travel and sunshi

Happy Father’s Day to all the legendary dads out there! 👑 Great dads deserve great chicken wings - it’s just a fact.

We fired up the Weber Grills - UK Mastertouch to whip up the ultimate smoked wings. The dream team combo? You guessed it: our Buffalo Dust BBQ Rub + Original Buffalo Hot Sauce. It’s arguably one of the best buffalo sauces on the market (if we do say so ourselves! 😉)

There is truly nothing better than a heavily dusted, crispy smoked wing doused and tossed in sauce. Pass the blue cheese dip and let’s eat! 🔥 Weber Grills

If it ain’t rubbed, it ain’t right!

Finally jumped on the viral tortilla kebab trend, and wow these lived up to the hype! 🔥
I used good quality lamb mince seasoned with our Turkish Kebab BBQ Rub, and layered it with plenty of Gouda for that ultimate gooey finish.
The Lamb Mix:
1kg lamb mince
50g Turkish Kebab BBQ Rub
Fresh chopped mint, coriander, and onion
The Method:
I took 6 tortillas and cut them into squares, spreading 5 with the seasoned mince then layered them up with the 6th on top. Tip: Keep a bowl of water nearby to dip your fingers in, it makes spreading the meat onto the tortilla so much easier. After layering a couple of layers with Gouda, I cut, knocked into their side and skewered them using my Manchester Vacs Russian Skewers.
For the cook, I went offset over the deflector plate on the Kamado Joe UK, then finished them over direct heat to get that perfect sizzle🔥
They tasted incredible! Next time, I’ll take a little more care with centering the skewers and measuring the squares for better uniformity, though my I.O.Shen Mastergrade Knives made the prep work a breeze. 👌🔪
Huge thanks to Dean Edwards for the inspiration, tips and method! Make sure you check out his new book 🔥

I can see why this viral tortilla kebab trend has taken off. The tortilla kept the meat moist and soaked up those tasty juices.
