🏆🔥 WHEN THE EMOTIONS SETTLE AND REALITY STARTS TO SINK IN… 🔥🏆 Y’all… I still can’t believe what just happened! WE WON @worldfoodchamps THE WORLD FOOD CHAMPIONSHIP! 🙌 As the adrenaline wears off and the reality of this past weekend starts to hit, I’m honestly overwhelmed with gratitude. This is the first of MANY mini videos recapping one of the most incredible weekends of my life! But before anything else, I have to give a HUGE shoutout to my AMAZING TEAM! ❤️ These people believed in something I never dreamed I would even have the opportunity to do. They poured their hearts, talents, time, and energy into making this happen. This wasn’t a one-man victory. This was OUR victory! And let me tell you, we have some INCREDIBLE brands and partners who believed in us along the way. You’ll be hearing a LOT about them over the next few days! 🔥 @Yoder Smokers Thank you for providing incredible equipment that helped us cook at a championship level! 🥩 @joesbutchershop Thank you for providing some of the absolute BEST meat we could have asked for! The quality of those products helped make our final-round dish ridiculously good! And that’s just the beginning of the thank-yous! Here’s what keeps hitting me… We didn’t start The Smoking Pastor Project to win trophies. We started it to feed people, love people, and show them Jesus through barbecue. Somehow, God took that little mission and put us on the WORLD STAGE. 🌎 I’m still trying to wrap my head around it all. To my team, my family, our partners, and everyone who cheered us on… THANK YOU! God is SO good! And we’re just getting started! ❤️ More stories, more behind-the-scenes moments, and a whole lot more thank-yous coming! @toosaucedguys @𝕊𝕞𝕠ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕕 𝕆𝕟 𝕄𝕒𝕚𝕟 #WorldFoodChampionships #WorldChampion #SmokingPastor #SmokingPastorProject #YoderSmokers @TheTrueBoardUSA @Smokey Woods BBQ @refinedrootstx @Lifespace USA @Kinzie Foods @Heath Riles BBQ @Malcom Reed @lonestargrillz.com @Laffittes Cajun Foods
