What is the New Zealand Barbecue Alliance? | Luke Seeney

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Low and slow BBQ is a growing food movement all around the world. It now has a solid competition scene not just in Australia, but also in New Zealand. In fact, the scene is growing so quickly in NZ that there are now several BBQ rub and BBQ sauce companies as well as BBQ joints and restaurants that rival the best in the world. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One man leading the charge is Luke Seeney, the head of the New Zealand Barbecue Alliance. He is at the forefront of the competition BBQ scene in NZ and is responsible for putting on the biggest and best BBQ festivals in the country. His passionate work in introducing and growing this popular food sport has led to the birth of an entire industry in the land of the long white cloud. His work is both tireless and inspirational. And he’s pretty creative on the BBQ himself!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this full episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast, Luke and I get into: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Luke’s love affair with Wagyu Steaks (2:52)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the NZ BBQ Community has evolved as an online community (15:22)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The growth of the competition BBQ scene in New Zealand (22:20)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the New Zealand public have embraced the BBQ competition scene (26:35)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What the NZ spin looks like on the competitive BBQ scene (32:38)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to stay fresh and creative with BBQ (42:43)</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast is proudly bro
