Melbourne’s home of low and slow BBQ celebrates with a one-day-only giveaway
Melbourne’s favourite BBQ joint Fancy Hank’s is celebrating International Brisket Day with the ultimate lunch giveaway – FREE takeaway brisket sandwiches – for one-day-only on Wednesday 28 May available in venue from 12:00pm until sold out[1].
Get ready to sink your teeth into Fancy Hank’s signature 12-hour smoked ‘Wanderer’ brisket – rich, tender, and smoked low and to perfection – piled high on an iconically American and pillowy-soft Martin’s potato roll. Each free brisket sandwich will also come with a complimentary drink voucher[2] redeemable at sister venue Springrock Public Bar located next door and, for those feeling extra peckish, pick up a side of Fancy Hank’s fries coated in chicken salt for only $5.
Sharing his excitement for the celebrations, Fancy Hank’s co-owner Mike Patrick exclaims, “As far as we’re concerned, there’s no better way to honour Brisket Day than with the thing we do best! We’ve been continuously smoking brisket for 13 years next month and we’re immensely proud of the craft we’ve perfected. From the time and care that goes into every cut to the unmistakable flavour from our custom-built, two-tonne smoker ‘Puffing Billie’ – it’s what keeps people coming back. We can’t wait to welcome Melburnians in for a taste of the best brisket in town.”
Commenting on what makes brisket so special, Fancy Hank’s head chef Jarrod Di Blasi explains, “Brisket takes time, but the reward is in the patience. The secret starts with selecting a quality cut, which we source from an incredible, local Victorian producer, to ensure it’s full of flavour. We season our brisket generously and then smoke it low and slow over Aussie hardwood, delivering meat that is melt-in-your-mouth tender with rich, deep flavours straight from the pit. When it’s done right, there’s nothing better.”
To keep the flavour going, Fancy Hank’s is offering 15% off its signature sauces, rubs, and seasonings online with the code ‘BRISKET15,’ plus firing up a brand-new dining experience: Bottomless Barbecue[3]. Launching 2 June and running every Monday to Wednesday from 5pm, this indulgent offering invites guests to settle in with a premium barbecue platter, and enjoy unlimited top-ups, served straight from the smoker for only $69 per person. Think buffalo wings fried with Fancy Hank’s buffalo sauce & yoghurt ranch; 12-hour smoked ‘Wanderer’ barley-fed Angus Beef Brisket, 12-hour smoked ‘Ryukyu’ heritage rare breed pulled pork shoulder and Fancy’s Hank’s smoked Chicken free-range chicken thighs with a range of delicious sides. It’s the ultimate comfort food ritual, made to warm up Melbourne’s coldest nights so gather your crew, grab a drink, and get ready to feast.
