FRIENDSHIP & FAMILY HEARTBREAK

AARON AND CHRIS HAVE GOT THROUGH DARK DAYS TOGETHER

- Jodie Wolf

Adelaide-based content creator Aaron has gatecrashed his way into the My Kitchen Rules arena alongside his mate, Chris - and the self-confessed "BBQ kings" reckon their strong friendship will be the secret ingredient to them smoking the competition.

Aaron initially met Chris, from Sydney, on Instagram. Working in similar fields, they connected over their mutual passion of BBQs. But it was only after Aaron invited "talented cook" Chris, 47, to an interstate BBQ competition that their bond really "blossomed", Aaron reveals.

Since then, they've entered and won! - many BBQ competitions around Australia. While Chris and Aaron, 33, have enjoyed being by each other's sides for all the highs, they've also supported each other through some very low points.
