Competitive barbecuer Troy Bilbrough has achieved the best-ever result for a New Zealander at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue.
Based in Christchurch Troy is a reigning national barbecue champion in the steak and ancillary categories.
He competed late last year coming 69th out of 450 teams - the highest a New Zealander has finished.
Troy had to borrow cooking gear but still impressed judges with his grass-fed New Zealand meats.
Troy is also the founder of food joints Bacon Bros, Shaka Bros as well as the nano-brewery BEERS.
The businesses are also major caterers for weddings and other big events - they go to about 400 a year throughout the South Island.
Troy is set on improving his performance in the world barbecue championships, hoping to get as high as a top 10 finish.
