Mr Guaba has worked “all around the world on cruise lines and star hotels”.

He said to be recognised as the winners in Alice Springs, let alone in the whole of the NT, was great.

“To be awarded as the NT Menulog People’s Choice winner within our first year of

operation and during hard COVID times, speaks volumes for the hard work and dedication

of our team,” Mr Guaba said.

“This would not be possible without the support of our local Alice Springs community,

interstate travellers, friends, family and our two young boys.”

He said they started with mexican cuisine, gourmet burgers and pizzas and had started to make changes to the menu when COVID-19 hit.

“We jumped onto Menulog and the business took off.

“We introduced a parmi with a twist as pubs were closing.

“We have a lot of speciality items like making our own cheese sauce, and our salsa. We do handmade nachos and after adding these (business) has gone through the roof.”

Grill Me Crazy is at 6/70 Todd St, Alice Springs.
