COMPETITOR
Big Dog BBQ VA
HEAD COOK: Theresa Bell
COMPETITION: Fire & Ice Women's BBQ Championship
Being the daughter of a chef, I cannot remember a time when I was not interested in food. My first cooking competition was in the fourth grade, which I won. I love sharing my passion with others and have taught a children's class "Food around the world" and have mentored historical re-enactment cooks in preparing a 120 person Middle Eastern feast based on "Travels along the Silk Road". To my BBQ colleagues I am readily identifiable by my spiky red hair and am even known as that "sassy redhead".
