What an Eggtoberfest! We had a blast at our 2nd Big Green Egg Eggtoberfest, cooking with Demkota Beef and assisting Darkside of the Grill and Lords of the Egg. Our Beef Tenderloin with bone marrow, mushroom duxelles, pickled red onion, Tsar Nicoulai caviar, and chives was a winner! 🏆 🥇

Thanks to Shane and Tracy for their hospitality and to our new and old friends in Georgia, it was great seeing you! We're already looking forward to next year!

Steak so good, it’s @tylerflorence approved 🔥

Smoked Coulette Steak: Brushed plum miso glaze, Italian fresh black truffle from @velarde_foods, and caviar from @therealtsarnicoulai, topped with chives. By Pitmaster John Valenton and Chris Cave with @macbbq at Heritage Fire Napa.

We had a blast at Heritage Fire this year. We also had the privilege of feeding @tylerflorence and also getting his first reaction and breakdown of our rib in real time. Such an amazing experience. Thank you to all the friends and family that continue to support our dreams and events. This month has been so much fun!

We had an amazing menu.

Ain’t no party like an Uncle Mel party! @darksideofthegrill threw down some A5 steaks from @demkotaranchbeef & @grandwesternsteaks on @biggreenegg to celebrate @sweetmeatbutchershopbobbyg taking Team Dark Side of the Gator Mac to the stage for 8th Place Whole Hog @worldchampionshipbarbecue @memphisinmay

We Walked @memphisinmay Baby!
Got 8th in Whole Hog!
Held our own on TIGER LANE!
We came So close in almost every category and finally caught it in Hog!
This Team Showed up amongst LEGENDS on the WORLD Stage and I am so proud of each weapon on our crew!
We Celebrated with the Best and the OGLegends welcomed us with open arms!
Team DarkSide Of The Gator Mac baby!

Memphis 2026 was an absolute blast!

Being ranked among the top 10 in the world for whole hog sounds impressive. 8th place gets a walk on the stage and we'll take it! (We tied with The Shed for 7th place.) A huge thank you to Bobby and his team from @sweetmeatbutchershopbobbyg for being absolute pros! We learned so much over the course of a week. That hog was incredible! We can’t wait to cook with you in Florida and when you visit California!

With Memphis in May introducing a new Live fire component to the event, we had @darksideofthegrill and his team front and center with their new Viking ship open fire pit!

We’ll make a few adjustments for next year and can’t wait to return! A huge thank you to everyone who supported us throughout this journey. Managing a team in Florida, Canada, and California involves a lot of moving parts and logistics. Shout out to @paulstanley4361 (MAC BBQ south) for bringing this team together! Even though it was our first year, we have all the pieces in place to make a lasting impact on Memphis in May in the future.

Stay tuned and help us cheer on Mac BBQ as they make a run for the top spot.

Last year, we were fortunate to secure two exclusive barrel picks—each one carefully selected by our team to reflect who we are as a group. If you’ve ever spent time with us, you know we’re all about enjoying great company while doing what we love most.

We’re excited to share that we’ve added two more selections this year—another bourbon and a tequila. We’ll be hosting several release events throughout the year where all four of our barrel picks will be available for purchase. We’re also working on additional ways to make them accessible beyond our in-person events.
