A pioneer of
American-style “low and slow” BBQ in Australia,
Lance Rosen is
the pioneer of American-style BBQ in Melbourne. Lance, a classically trained
chef, opened the first Big Boy BBQ store in 2010 after falling in love with
barbeque in America. Big Boy BBQ has three stores in Melbourne, smoke and cooks
all their meats on hickory wood. All their sauces and sides are made from
scratch in their smoke-house, and avoid any added chemicals. Big Boy BBQ aims
to give the best ribs in a casual fast environment. ‘Slow Food… Fast’ is about
his passion to preserve traditional cooking methods and provide an alternative
to unhealthy fast food.
He was
recognized as an innovator in food by The Age Magazine, in 2012, for his
introduction of American BBQ to Melbourne. Also his book, Temples of BBQ won
the title of Best BBQ cookbook in the world 2015 at the Gourmand World Cookbook
Awards. Lance is a qualified BBQ judge and has judged in the USA and he loves
to compete in the sport of BBQ.
