Building the next generation of Texas BBQ

From regional cook-offs to the state championship, Texas students turn their passion for barbecue into skills, confidence, and opportunity.

Our Mission

Our mission is to enrich the lives of Texas high school students through dynamic, hands-on educational programs centered around the art and tradition of BBQ.

From regional competitions to an unforgettable State Championship, Texas high school students build skills, grow as leaders, and discover what they're capable of. The reward? Scholarships that can help turn their culinary dreams into reality.
