Ty Machado with Food Network Camila

BBQ in Texas is almost in the category
of being a religion and rightfully so considering the amount of time
and investment made by so many. However, it is only a select few
that rise to the international stardom level and one of these young
guns just so happens to be the son of an old school friend of mine in
Seguin Texas. 13 year old Ty Machado is proudly representing Texas
on a world stage in this first season of the Kids BBQ Championship on
the Food Network.
Ty spent years with his father, Joey
Machado, traveling to holy sites in Texas known as BBQ cookoffs
honing his skills and winning enough awards to catch the Food
Networks attention. Unfortunately, Ty did not win the championship
and take home the $20,000.00 grand prize and get featured in the Food
Network magazine. 2nd for Ty's chicken and 7th
overall out of 53 top level competitors is something I know all of
Texas is very proud of. I will say that I feel partly to blame that
Ty did not win the ultimate prize for at the time of his competition
on the Food Network Ty was not using Texas Angel Oil extra virgin
olive oil for his marinades. I will eternally hang my head in shame
for not getting Texas Angel Oil to Ty in time for the Food Network
show that began airing this past May. However, both Joey and Ty have
Texas Angel Oil in their arsenal at this time for their growing BBQ
competitions and TV appearances. I'm partly kidding on it being my
fault and while yes they have fresh Texas Angel Oil available to them
now and we all know the right fresh ingredients can make or break
some dishes. It's the pitmaster skills honed over time that separate
the weekend grill master from the sought out title of BBQ pitmaster.
Ty has forever earned this title through his own hard work. More so
I am unable to express enough as to how honored I am to know his
father and I think we can all learn something from this father and
son duo about parenting.
While our agreement is not completed at
the time of this post, Texas Angel Oil looks to be a very soon
sponsor of the Guadalupe BBQ Co. Competition Team. There are many
different directions I thought about taking this post, but ultimately
I hoped and hope to not take away from Ty's accomplishments. As a
proud father myself of both my 2 children, Sinjin & Skyla, I can
only imagine how proud Joey is of his son Ty. I think it's highly
important for all us to share our love, knowledge, and involve our
children in every aspect.
The United States Navy man in me
salutes Joey & Ty Machado. The Texan in me tips my hat to Joey &
Ty Machado. The father in me is inspired by Joey & Ty Machado.
Good job gentlemen and I hope to
officially announce that Texas Angel Oil extra virgin olive oil is
officially part of the Guadalupe BBQ Co. Competition Team very soon. Follow them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guadalupebbqco
