Grillin to the Bone Points Chase

🔥💀 THAT'S A WRAP ON GRILLIN' TO THE BONE SERIES 1! 💀🔥

WOW! What an incredible journey it has been!

Thank you for the support, the laughs, the friendships, the stories, and the memories we created together. Through the cold, the heat, the rain, the humidity, and that unpredictable Texas weather, you showed up, cooked your hearts out, and gave it everything you had.

You didn't just support our series—you supported every promoter, every community, and every event along the trail. We hope Grillin' to the Bone gave you memories you'll carry with you for years to come because we know it certainly did for us.

🔥👨‍🍳 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY FROM GRILLIN' TO THE BONE! 👨‍🍳🔥

Today, we celebrate all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, father figures, and BBQ legends who have spent countless hours behind the pit, around the grill, and making memories with the people they love most.

We hope your day is filled with family, laughter, great food, and the love of those who mean the most to you. And let's be honest... after all the meals you've cooked for everyone else over the years, we hope someone is doing the cooking for YOU today! 🍔🔥🥩

As we celebrate Father's Day, we're also tipping our hats to National Wagyu Day! 🥩✨ Here's hoping someone treats you to a juicy Wagyu steak, a perfectly smoked Wagyu brisket, or at the very least lets you enjoy your favorite meal without having to tend the fire all day.

Thank you to all the fathers who teach us, support us, encourage us, and show us that some of life's best conversations happen around a grill, a smoker, or a dinner table.

From all of us at Grillin' to the Bone, we wish you a day full of great food, great family, and great memories.

❤️ Happy Father's Day, Pitmasters!
