Back: Alan Ridley, Prince Phiri (representative from ChesaNyama), Hanroe Erasmus, Deon Fourie, Mike Poyiadjis and Ed Pretorius (reserve team member).Front: Borries, Jimmy Baptista (Jimmy’s Sauces) and BraaiBoy. Heritage Day was celebrated in true South African style with the ChesaNyama Team Braai-B-Que finals at the Good Food and Wine Show at the Coca-Cola Dome. Thirteen braaiers, armed with meat in one hand and spice, braai tongs and bastings in the other, were ready to compete in the country’s biggest braai-off. It was Mike Poyiadjis from Senderwood, Deon Fourie from Sandton, Alan Ridley from Krugersdorp and Hanroe Erasmus from Norwood who were selected to be part of the eight-man South African team to compete in the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbeque on 26 October and the World Food Championships between 7-10 November. The team will compete in Tennessee and will then drive the 2000 miles to Las Vegas in 2 RVs for the World Food Competition. These four braaiers will join Borries, a mountain of a man and a proud Albertonian who recently won the popular Bring&Braai competition on DStv’s kykNET as well asBraaiboy, who entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2012 when he was awarded the world record for the longest
continuous braai. Braaiboy has braaied every day for the past four and a half years. Borries and Braaiboy are the team captains. Sarel Loots, aka Sarel Van Sabie, a ChesaNyama representative and a celeb chef, and Jimmy Baptista, MD of Jimmy’s Sauces, form part of the team. tame TIMES managed to sneak in a chat with Borries between all the braaing and judging. Borries explained that braaing is not only about the meat but about the socialising. “It is not fun to braai alone,” Borries said. When asked what skills or technique makes for a good braai, Borries said that all you
need are good ingredients, mature meat, you must know your butcher and have great side dishes. “That is where your wife comes in. Behind every good braaier there is a great woman,” Borries laughs. “If a man can’t braai, he is going to struggle to find a wife.” Hayden Quinn from Australian Master Chef was one of the judges. Even though he might know a lot about cooking, he learnt much more about braaing.
