The American Royal is always a contest where any call is a good call. With 360+ of the best BBQ teams in the world, it’s a true marathon — two days of cooking with only 30 minutes between each category. The World Series of BBQ!

For our family, it’s so much more than a BBQ competition.

It’s loading the truck together, early mornings, late nights, dividing up jobs, checking timelines, tasting sauces, and pushing through the exhaustion. It’s the high-fives after a good turn-in, the hugs when things don’t go as planned, and standing together when the calls are announced.

Last year, we were proud to earn an overall ribbon in meats. This year, we set a goal to walk higher in any meat category.

Goal accomplished. BRISKET!!!

🏆 18th Place Brisket
🏆 11th Place Baked Beans
🏆 51st Overall

Every trip to Kansas, we get a little better. And any Texas team will tell you — Kansas has a way of keeping even great Texas teams humble. There are so many talented cooks here that hearing your name called is an accomplishment.

Congratulations to Pop A Top Cookersfrom Texas on bringing a Reserve Championship back to Texas! 🤠🔥

But for us, the best part of competition BBQ has never been just the ribbons.

It’s the miles we’ve traveled, the people we’ve met, the lessons we’ve learned, the meals we’ve shared, and all the memories made around the smoker.

This is our family sport. This is our family time. And we wouldn’t trade it for anything. ❤️🔥

Now we’re heading north to Indy to visit more family, make a few more memories, and get ready to represent Texas at the World Food Championships!

As always, thank you to the sponsors and products that keep our family team grinding, cooking, competing, and walking.

🎟️🔥 GOLDEN TICKET TO THE BIG DANCE — ACHIEVED! 🔥🎟️

THOSE DINO RIBS WERE ON FIRE!!! 🔥🦖

This has truly been a family effort from start to finish. We set a goal to earn our way to the World stage, and every little detail mattered — from plating and color choices to building flavor, strengthening our dishes, and figuring out exactly what we wanted to highlight.

And it paid off!

Totally Bodacious is headed to the World Food Championships in Indy, October 16–18! 🏆🔥

Brodie gets to represent in the Junior Chef Division, while Bo will be Head Chef in BBQ, with Brodie jumping in as his sous chef.

And getting to go to World Food Championships and represent Team Texas makes this even more special! 🤘🏼⭐

A huge THANK YOU to the Texas Food Championship for putting on an incredible event and giving us the opportunity to compete, learn, push our dishes, and earn our way to the World stage. We appreciate y’all more than you know!

Watching these two work together, compete together, and now earn their spot on the World stage is pretty dang special. ❤️

The Golden Ticket is punched. Indy, here we come! 🎟️🔥🏆

🔥 Texas Food Championship Day 2 is officially in the books!! 🔥
What an incredible day in Corpus Christi competing alongside some great friends and family! Huge shoutout to the Texas Food Championship for putting on an amazing event!
🐷 First up today — RIBS!
I think we nailed this one! We went tropical with our Prairie Fresh spare ribs, bringing a great balance of sweet and heat.
We finished them with an awesome pineapple-habanero glaze and paired them with charred pineapple and a jalapeño-lime slaw topped with toasted coconut. 🌴🔥
🥩 Next up — BRISKET!
We know a thing or two about brisket, and this is definitely one of our favorite meats to cook. Today’s brisket was something special!
Our Snake River Farms brisket did not disappoint. We smoked it with Texas pecan wood, hit it with a well-balanced trio of seasonings, and finished it with a touch of Daigle's BBQ Sauces Sweet Garlic Pecan to give it a little extra bling.
We even added some Big Red soda-pickled onions to wake up the judges’ taste buds. This brisket hit on all levels! 🔥
🏆 Tomorrow morning is awards!
We’ll finally find out where we landed after these last two days of competition. Regardless of the results, I’m extremely happy with everything we turned in and proud of how we cooked.
The only real mishap of the weekend was the live chicken judging on Day 1 — and if that’s the worst thing that happened, I’ll take it!
We have been extremely blessed by all the support this weekend. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, checked on us, encouraged us, and supported our team. It means more than you know!
And, as always, a HUGE thank you to our awesome partners who help keep us in the game:

Now we wait for tomorrow morning! No matter where the chips fall, we’re proud of the food we put on those judging tables. 💪🔥

Texas Food Championship — Day One is in the books! 🔥

And let me tell y’all… the nerves were REAL today! 😂 Being judged by culinary-trained chefs and some serious BBQ people in front of a live panel definitely pushed Bo outside his comfort zone. He’s naturally pretty shy, so this was a BIG step for him.

But once it was time to cook, he did what he does — he got to work and the BBQ was on point!

A couple of things really came together today:

🍗 BBQ Chicken & Waffles — juicy, tender BBQ chicken with a good bite, paired with an apple-maple waffle and pickled hot-honey butter. Sweet, a little heat, a little acidity… all worked together really well.

🥩 Mystery Meat — a Beef Dino Rib with a Texas-inspired chile rojo profile, using ancho and guajillo for depth and controlled heat, finished with a concentrated chile glaze.

This was Bo’s FIRST time ever smoking a Dino rib, and then he had to somehow get that giant thing into a standard clamshell. So what did he do? Read the fine print. 😂

Turns out, the rules never actually said the lid had to close. So… he made it work! 🤣

And honestly, he was really happy with how that rib turned out. For his first Dino rib, we’ll take that win! 🔥

So proud of Bo today. He stepped way outside his comfort zone, worked through the nerves, and put his food out there — and that’s a pretty big deal.

Day 1 down. Day 2, here we come! 💪🔥

Huge thanks, as always, to our awesome partners who help keep us in the game!

Before we could stand shoulder to shoulder and sing our anthem…

There were Americans who stood in places no one should ever have to stand.

Some never came home.
Some came home forever changed.
Every one of them paid a price so the rest of us could live lives filled with ordinary moments we often take for granted.

The freedom to hug our families.
The freedom to cheer for our team.
The freedom to gather under one flag, with one nation behind us.

Today isn’t just about fireworks.
It’s about sacrifice.
It’s about gratitude.
It’s about remembering that someone else’s courage gave us the privilege of this moment.

As the stars and stripes wave over Texas tonight, may we never forget those who made it possible.

May God bless every man and woman who has worn our nation’s uniform.
May God comfort the families who carry an empty seat at the table.
And may we always prove worthy of the freedom they gave us.

Happy Independence Day.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸🤘
