BBQ world market leader Weber's spring event

On March 14, 2024, Weber, the world's leading barbecue manufacturer, opened its doors for an exclusive and maritime spring event under the motto “It all began with a ship buoy.” Against the picturesque backdrop of the Port of Hamburg, guests were whisked away into the world of barbecuing.

The event began with a special reception at the Landungsbrücken:

In beautiful sunshine and a grilled Aperol spritz in hand (the orange slices were of course grilled aboard the barge on the new Lumin electric grill), the Weber Water Taxi took guests past the sparkling Elphi through the World Heritage Site “Speicherstadt” to the “Alte Liebe” event location in the International Maritime Museum.

Once there, guests could expect not only the latest barbecue trends of today, but also a short journey through time — an homage to Weber's roots. A special exhibition recalled the beginnings of the company and showed the constantly developing innovative strength.

The focus was on the presentation of new products: the innovative SmartControl Summit FS38X gas grill with the unique +815 °C top heat Sear Zone as well as other grill highlights such as the Mediterranean plancha, the BBQ kitchen and the electric Lumin in mint green were presented vividly and interactively by Frank Rommersbach, managing director Weber Germany, and Roberto Venturino, Weber grill master and owner of the celebrity kitchen Hamburg.

Roberto Venturino and his team then fired up the barbecues and let themselves be looked over their shoulders while preparing various culinary delights. Among other things, the guests were served reinterpreted swordfish rolls, aubergines in panko breading, Napoletana pizza or vegan oatmeal Kaiserschmarrn from hot grate.
