Biographical Note:

Tony Ramirez, also known as TFTI BBQ on social media, has honed his backyard barbecue skills over a span of nearly 20 years in the Bay Area. He is entirely self-taught, but draws heavily on his parents' cooking and culinary traditions--Filipino and Cajun. TFTI BBQ recipes are known for their unique but approachable flavor combinations and techniques that sometimes bend the barbeque "rules." Tony has partnered with a variety of major brands from Chargriller and Camp Chef to Miller Lite and Nomad, and is beloved in the live fire barbeque community--frequently appearing with other high-level creators. Find him online as TFTI.BBQ or on Embers TV.
