COMPETITOR

HEAD COOK: John Tyrna
COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship
I'm John Tyrna, I love Jesus, my family, meat and food. I'm a veteran who started cooking mommas' recipes in the military because I couldn't afford to go out to eat. We own 2 butcher shops and a BBQ food trailer. I've really only bee cooking for the last 3-4 years besides some stuff at home. I love to hunt and fish and process my own meat. All things meat infatuates me. I strive to bring families together via the dinner table. I love the smiles and satisfaction on people's faces when they eat my food.
