King of the roast

Darren Smith took me to this "King of the roast" in Clarinda one day when I went out to attend some sales calls with him in his area.

It was indeed some roasts! I ordered roast pork and he had roast beef. Aussies love their beef. I love pork crackling. The roasts were served in a huge quantity (one would say in huge truckloads), they were tender and juicy. DS gulped it down in less than 5 minutes whilst I struggled to eat it all. Best of all the roasts were only $7.50 each.

I said to DS, "Mate you sure eat fast!" and he replied' "I was in the real estate business and I learned to eat fast or else the food would be gone!"

DS's a nice chap, he worked as a butcher for 15 years and then spent 12 years in the real estate business. In the car he was calculating how much money that King Roast guy would be making a week....Tony the owner would use up to 1 ton (1000kg) of meat a week.
