Fire up; cause NZ's biggest BBQ festival is about to get grilling.
Billed as a carnivore's paradise, Meatstock, the two day festival gets underway tomorrow at mystery creek near Hamilton.
But it's not just the menu that's spicy; along slide the fire pits and slabs of steak is a celebration of the average, the ordinary, the undercooked; one of Meatstocks biggest crowd pleasers.
Behold, the dad bod contest.
