Milaidhoo Maldives Hosts Unforgettable BBQ Event with Chef Arron Rhodes

Saturday 5th of April 2025

Milaidhoo Maldives is set to offer an extraordinary culinary experience this May with a two-evening event featuring renowned Texas BBQ expert Chef Arron Rhodes. On 19 and 22 May 2025, Chef Rhodes will join forces with Milaidhoo’s Cluster Executive Chef Ken Gundu for an unforgettable gastronomic celebration that blends traditional BBQ techniques with the luxurious dining experience of Milaidhoo Maldives.

Chef Rhodes, a seasoned culinary artisan, brings a wealth of global expertise, from his Michelin-starred experiences to his role in opening the underwater restaurant Edge in the Maldives. As the owner of Smoke & Barrel in Hong Kong, Rhodes has perfected the art of Texas BBQ, serving up signature dishes like beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked beef tongue.

The event will feature two exclusive dinners at Milaidhoo's Azure Beach Restaurant and Shoreline Grill. The American Pop-Up BBQ at Azure Beach offers a casual, interactive experience, where guests can enjoy smoky delights cooked over the iconic Big Green Egg grill and an underground pibil. A carefully crafted selection of cocktails will complement these rich, slow-cooked dishes.

For those seeking a refined dining experience, the Wine-Paired Dinner at Shoreline Grill will elevate the BBQ feast with carefully selected wines that enhance the bold, smoky flavours of the dishes.

This exclusive culinary event promises to be a must-attend for any food lover, offering a unique opportunity to savour the mastery of Chef Arron Rhodes in one of the Maldives' most stunning locations.
