This is all I want to do. It’s a healing journey and comeback story unfolding right before your eyes. I’m just trying to cook and do good things. That’s it. No ego no ill intent or mischievous plans.

What a day… and what a TEST.
The wind was no joke 🌬️
We’re talking steady gusts pushing 17mph to gusts 30 mph, and I’m out there with my live fire setup completely exposed. No smoker box. No shield. Just me, the fire, and the elements.
And honestly… I was nervous.
But this is what I do.
I worked with the wind, not against it—managing the fire, adjusting heat zones, and staying locked in the entire time.
🔥 Dish: “Ethiopia Meets Mexico”
Mesquite live-fire St. Louis ribs
• Berbere-inspired rub (fenugreek, cardamom, cloves, ginger, layered chiles)
• Guajillo-forward heat
• Piloncillo guava BBQ + mesquite smoked honey glaze
• Tatemado salsa verde–inspired chutney
• Chicharrón crumble for texture
Cooked 100% over live fire. No shortcuts.
And here’s the crazy part…
I finished before the heavy gusts really started hitting hard.
A lot of teams were working with offset smokers and enclosed setups—meanwhile I was fully exposed to the elements. That timing? That mattered.
🏆 2nd PLACE + CASH PRIZE 💰
More than anything, I’m just grateful.
The BBQ community showed love, welcomed me in, and reminded me why I do this.
This is only the beginning.
More fire. More comps. More growth.
Thank you @grills_on_film @foothill.builders.mart

Today I present Ethiopia Meets Mexico—St. Louis ribs cooked entirely over a mesquite charcoal fire.
This dish is inspired by the shared language of fire and spice across cultures. I built a berbere-inspired rub using fenugreek, cardamom, clove, ginger, and layered chilies—bringing in both traditional warmth and Mexican influence with guajillo.
Instead of offset smoking, these ribs are cooked over live fire, allowing for direct heat control. You’ll notice a defined bark, an intentional char, and a structured bite with a clean pull from the bone—showcasing fire management rather than smoke dependence.
They’re wrapped and finished in a piloncillo guava BBQ and mesquite honey glaze—balancing spice with a deep, caramelized sweetness.
Alongside that, I’ve created a tatemado salsa verde inspired by chutney—using charred jalapeño, green onion, cilantro, and charred chayote—for brightness, acidity, and a subtle smokiness.
The chicharrón crumble adds texture and contrast to the dish.
Overall, this plate is about balance—heat, sweetness, acidity, and texture—brought together through controlled live fire and cultural connection
Thank you @grills_on_film @foothill.builders.mart for putting on such an awesome bbq competition and gathering this amazing community! To many more! Cheers! 🍻 @titus_smokers such an awesome plaque! See yah soon! 👑👸❤️🔥💯🔥 #Queenofthetailgate congratulations @tcb_takincareofbbq on first place!!

Got the Bob Ross move and inspired by all those funny influencers out there making food Hella, sexy for no reason 😂🤤 I am for sure. Guilty of this too, but just haven’t gone viral lol 😂 #foodporn #donutdaddy #cheflife #foodies #sexyfood

Just arrived in Florida from California and already back to learning. 🔥🔪 Only back here for a week until April/May.
My friend Spirit has been teaching me about knife forging, sharpening, and proper blade maintenance. He even made me a custom knife, which means a lot.
Grateful for his friendship, his patience, and the knowledge he shares. Spirit is a veteran and part of our military riders group — truly appreciate the time he takes to teach me.
Lots more to learn and lots more practice ahead.
