COMPETITOR

Grilluminatis BBQ

HEAD COOK: Ray Cruz

COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship


It all began with my fascination with fire and watching my father barbecue from a young age. Over time, I discovered how to use fire to cook meats. First, cooking at high temperatures and then at low temperatures, teaching me patience and that many good things take time, and that's okay. From cooking on weekends to lighting charcoal almost every day, this led me to competing and eventually becoming a pit master.
