Omar wins the Weber BBQ Challenge 2013

Omar won the Weber BBQ Challenge at this year's Taste of London Festival, beating many of London's top BBQ chefs from The Savoy Grill, Maze Grill by Gordon Ramsay, Barbecoa by Jamie Oliver, Gaucho, and Spice Market, amongst others. The rules were simple; competitors had two hours to create a show-stopping dish of a whole chicken, a rack of lamb or a loin of pork. Omar's winning recipe was one of his mother's dishes, a whole roast chicken with artichokes and garlic peppers.
