Slaton Jr. High 7th grader Tucker Westbrook is turning up the heat on the competition circuit! His love for grilling has already earned him awards and recognition — and he’s just getting started. Recently, Tucker brought home 3rd place for his perfectly cooked pork chops and 5th place for his flavorful grilled corn.

Grilling and BBQ competitions have grown in popularity across Texas and beyond, bringing together students and adults alike to showcase their skills, creativity, and passion for cooking. 

We’re proud of Tucker and applaud his enthusiasm and talent. His dedication to perfecting his craft shows that passion, practice, and perseverance pay off.

Way to go, Tucker! We can’t wait to see what you cook up next!
