Naz Cavallaro has been dreaming of making an impact in the food industry since he was a kid. Starting in the restaurant scene, he spent 25 years ensuring that his customers’ demands were always surpassed and exceeded in satisfaction. In the late ’90s he decided to focus on educating customers about food and the amazing meals that can be made using a barbecue, hence his nickname “BBQ Naz”! Through his lessons – to both new and seasoned grillers – is where his passion and knowledge of grilling are revealed. With his tips and tricks, Naz has the ability to simplify the grilling process, helping customers understand control and technique when standing in front of a grill – there’s a reason why he’s the “Grilling Expert”!

Winning countless rewards such as the “People’s Choice Award” in 1993 for top restaurant in Toronto, as well as his participation in a variety of charities, Naz is a BBQ genius and a chef you’ve got to look out for.
