ABOUT AUSSOM AUSSIE BBQ.

Aussom Aussie BBQ began with one simple belief: great barbecue brings people together—no matter where you’re from. Founded in 1988 by Paul “Aussom Aussie” Mackay, our roots reach from Australia to the heart of America’s biggest and toughest BBQ competitions. What started as a friendly challenge to share real Aussie-style barbecue has grown into a multi-award-winning team, a beloved festival staple, and a brand known for bold flavor and unforgettable hospitality.

For more than three decades, Aussom Aussie has traveled the USA coast to coast—cooking with passion, competing with heart, and serving up food that makes people stop, smile, and say, “Now that’s Aussom!” From iconic events like the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off, to hometown festivals and community gatherings, our team has earned hundreds of awards for ribs, brisket, pulled pork, barbecue sauce, and overall BBQ excellence. But the real reward? The fans who come back year after year for another taste of what we do.

Whether you’re grilling in the backyard, smoking through the weekend, or chasing trophies on the competition circuit, Aussom Aussie BBQ is here to bring the flavor, the fun, and taste.

From our pits to your plate—cheers to great barbecue, great mates, and great moments. Hope to see you out on the BBQ road - Cheers mate!
