HUGE NEWS. 🔥
We’ve been holding on to this one for a while, and we’re beyond excited to finally share it.
and will be competing on brand-new cooking competition series, Pitmasters.
For Denzel and I, this is a lifelong dream come true. To have the opportunity to showcase our skills on a national stage while representing Tacoma, our families, and our community means everything to us.
This one’s for the hometown kids. This one’s for everyone who has supported us, believed in us, and shown up for us along the way.
We had the opportunity to compete against some of the best pitmasters from across North America in a live-fire competition unlike anything we’ve ever experienced—six straight days of cooking, little sleep, high pressure, and nonstop fire. It pushed us mentally and physically, tested our endurance, creativity, and grit, and was some of the most fun we’ve had in a long time.
Huge shout out to all of the teams and competitors. What started as competition quickly turned into friendships and family.
We’re excited for y’all to watch this next chapter unfold. Let’s light the fires. 🔥🔥🔥
📺 Pitmasters premieres Monday, July 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network and will stream the following day on HBO Max®.
