"Hundreds of barbeque enthusiasts recently gathered at Zestiny Farm on the
Central Coast, New South Wales, to break the Guinness World Record for the
world’s largest barbecue lesson, with the added twist that every BBQ was
electric and powered by electric vehicles (EVs) from BYD.
Organised by Alex “Big Al” Horton and under the tuition of chef Jamie Gannon,
The Big BBQ was held on Sunday June 7 and included 359 participants, breaking
the previous record set in Kansas City, US, back in 2017 with 336 participants.
The attempt followed months of preparation as Horton and the Big BBQ team
hosted BBQs across NSW to connect with fans and recruit cooks to participate in
the world record bid.
In addition to securing the Guinness World Record, as adjudged by an official
adjudicator who was on hand to officiate the count and award the honour, the
event also helped raise money to tackle food insecurity, with funds raised
going to support food relief charity OzHarvest."
