Nawaf Refai, owner and head
pitmaster of 2 Smokin Arabs would have to be one of the most
gentlemanly fellows in the Australian BBQ scene. Known as Raf by
his friends, he was bitten by the BBQ bug several years ago, and
what started out as a casual toe-dip into the competitive BBQ scene
has evolved into so much more.
Raf
has gone all-in with his food truck - 2 Smokin Arabs and has grown
the business to an incredibly successful level in an incredibly
short period of time. And there’s big things coming for him just
around the corner - but I’ll leave that for him to tell you in the
episode.
But it’s not just his track
record on the competition circuit and the food truck scene that
sets him apart. He is a man who understands that his business owes
its success to the support of the community that he services. And
so he does everything he can to give back. In last year's bushfires
he and his team hit the road and not only served the first
responders, but also put on fundraising dinners, with the proceeds
paid directly to said first responders to help them make sure they
had everything they needed. And this is just the tip of the iceberg
that is this man’s generosity.
In
this episode we not only discuss the phenomenal growth of 2 Smokin
Arabs, but also the community work that he does, and we close out
the episode with a lesson from Raf on how to cook the perfect
brisket. Check it out!
