COMPETITOR
Myassis Smokin' Too
HEAD COOK: Janelle Willard
COMPETITION: World Invitational Steak Championship - SCA
I have been a professional competitor on the KCBS BBQ circuit for over 12 years; competing in more than a dozen contests a year. Along the way I have made many friends who share my passion for good food and the thrill of the competition. In addition to BBQ, I also showcase my talents in many other genres of food including dessert, chili, and steak; just to name a few. Winning is a lot of fun, but the true excitement comes from challenging myself to always make the next dish better than the last. And what better way to do that than to display my passion for food in the World Food Championships! Food is not just a sport, it’s an art. Building flavor profiles, understanding food science, and making the dish look amazing to the judges is all part of the art of making good food; whether it’s BBQ, a steak, or a luscious dessert. One cannot excel in food sport without passion and a commitment to perfection. Competing compels me to strive to reach new heights and accomplish the perfect dish to share with others. I look forward to showing the judges and my fellow competitors at the WFC that commitment and passion as we meet and challenge each other!
