Did you know we were the first, and we are the best!
Bison Bar was the first original BBQ joint in Dublin. We wanted to bring all the smoky BBQ flavour from Southern America to the streets of Dublin. We sent our team of chefs to the states to learn about the craft of BBQ. They spent weeks traveling the southern states from Memphis to Texas to really master the BBQ craft (tough gig!). As well as learning all the secrets and crafts to BBQ, it was there we picked up our secret weapon- our Southern Pride Smoker. The smoker was so big that we weren’t able to get it through the door, so we had to take down the wall to get into the kitchen. Talk about dedication! We then spend 6 weeks trialling and perfecting our meat selection before serving. We treat all our meats with homemade rubs and smoke them for 14 hours over specially selected charcoal before serving. We are dedicated to our trade and the art of BBQ and are proud to have been serving Dublin’s finest BBQ since 2012.
About Adam Burnell
Back in 2017 Adam started his YouTube Channel ‘Shropshire Lad’ after being convinced to do so by a friend, showcasing his outdoor cooking adventures in Shropshire. Five years on, what started out as simply sharing his passion for cooking with fire, quality local ingredients, and of course Shropshire and it’s incredible food scene, has become his fulltime profession since making the tough decision to finish his career as a Youth and Community Worker back in February 2022.
Adam has now established a solid reputation as a live fire chef nationally, delivering pop ups and events, hosting and demonstrating on fire cookery stages across the UK, delivering regular public classes in the art of cooking with fire, building a following across multiple social media platforms and making several television appearances. These include winning Heston Blumenthal’s show ‘Crazy Delicious’ on Netflix and channel 4, a guest slot on Nadia Hussein’s show ‘Fast Flavour’ and more recently as a critic on MasterChef the Professionals where he was described as ‘one of the leaders in the UK street food and pop-up scene’.
Adam’s style is to ‘not mess about’ and simply take the best of the ingredients available, allow bold natural flavours to collide and then introduce them to the fire to, ‘elevate flavours once again’.
