Our guest this week made an in-person studio visit all the way from Australia. Brett Robinson is well known in Melbourne as one of the original adapters of U.S. style BBQ and led the charge for teaching, and it has become so popular in Australia. He's going to let us in on some flavor profiles for lamb and we get an explanation of why it is more popular there (because they are doing it right).
