Meet the BBQ superfan who says his new favourite dish is....an entire alligator.
Erik Svendsen, 42, has started showcasing his cooking skills on his TikTok, where he ordinarily cooks beef, pork and fish.
But he recently turned his hand to cooking alligator - which he calls "the turkey of the swamp" - which costs up to $300 a piece.
The automotive supplies shop owner from Provo, Utah, US, leaves the head and feet on "for presentation", propping open the jaws with a wood block while it's on the grill.
His most recent barbequed alligator cost $200.
It takes about three and a half hours in total. Erik cooks the alligator at 225° for two hours, and then Erik turns it up to 350° for an hour and a half.
