BBQ delight: Brisket Boys ready to cook up a storm

After more than a year of hard work from the team, Brisket Boys’ restaurant within the Manufactor precinct on Castlereagh Road, Penrith, will finally be opening on Saturday.

Inspired by a love of low and slow American-style BBQ cooking, Mark Fitzgerald and Daniel Latty initiated the idea for Brisket Boys during the pandemic.

“Fitzy had become very passionate about that as a hobbyist around eight years ago, and I was getting to try a lot of his food because he’d invite us over, or he’d bring some offerings into the office,” Latty said.

“It got to the point where I was suggesting we could do this, do that, but it wasn’t until COVID was kicking in that we had time on our hands and a couple of drinks to marinate the ideas that we decided we would maybe do something.”
