Sheryl and Tony are excellent cooks. The Valentine’s have competed at some of the largest cook-offs in the world and some of the smallest. Here are a handful of their accomplishments:

•         The American Royal – 2nd place chicken – perfect score
•         San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Bar-B-Que Cookoff– 1st place bloody mary
•         Over 10 Grand Championships
•         Hub City BBQ Cookoff – 1st place bloody mary- 3 TIME CHAMPIONS
•         Hub City BBQ Cookoff – 1st place dessert
•         Hub City BBQ Cookoff – 1st place brisket
•          Raider Red Meats KCBS Grand Champion
•         Tri-state Open Chili Championship – 1st place chili

The Hub City BBQ Cookoff is a local event hosted by the Lubbock Chamber, of which they are members. The Outdoor Chef cooking team has cooked it multiple times and looks forward to it every year.

They carry a lot of grill brands at The Outdoor Chef in Lubbock. USA-made grills as well as others made overseas. However, it doesn’t matter where the grills come from; the entire family always takes the time to get certified through each grill company.

While the certification is for repairs, they, again, take the time to cook on every grill style and model they carry. Doing so allows them to learn how to use it properly and get it to work with them not against them. And they gain knowledge about the ins and outs of their grill products that they can turn around and share with you, the customer.
