Beefy’s has once again come out in front in the Official Great Aussie Pie Competition. This year we baked the Best Brekkie Pie and the Best Gluten Free Pie in Queensland.
In fact, we landed a big bag of gold medals in the hotly contested pie industry competition, winning Gold for our Signature Steak Pie in the Plain Meat Pie category, Gold for our Aussie Special Ned Kelly Pie in the Brekkie category and Gold for our Gluten Free Steak, Bacon and Cheese in the Gluten Free category.
It just proves, no matter what time of day you reach for a Beefy’s, you’ll be putting your hands on an award winner.
The Official Great Aussie Pie Competition is an annual event of the Australian Pie Council that celebrates the industry’s best pie makers and their passion for achieving excellence, always.
The judges look for all the same things Aussie pie lovers enjoy – the perfect pastry, the right thickness, evenness and texture, and an even bake, and a filling that ticks all the boxes when it comes to quality, stability, taste and aroma.
Each year the judging panel consists of TAFE trainers, chefs, bakers and bakery reps who are all experts in their field.
“It’s an absolute honour to go up against the best of the best in Australia and to come out as gold medal winners and number one in Queensland,” says Beefy’s Managing Director Mark Hobbs. “Our passion and pride in making great pies hasn’t wavered since we established our business in 1997.”
Beefy’s has always proudly hand-selected the freshest and best ingredients to suit our recipes and customer’s tastes and nurtured our talented bakers to consistently produce their absolute best. “We love the official awards, of course, but the reason we strive to deliver the very best is to thank our customers for choosing us,” says Mark. “There’s no greater reward for our team than to have a customer visit one of our nine Beefy’s stores or order Beefy’s for home delivery, and then to have them come back for more because they enjoyed the experience so much.”
