Josh Schluterman of Bentonville, AR and
Ben Crozier of Rogers, AR started cooking together in the Hog Pen at Arkansas’ Baum Stadium over 20 years ago. In 2004, the Hog Pen regulars moved outside the stadium to what is now known as Tailgater’s Row where they have become anchors of the three-day tailgate
parties in the best college baseball environment in the country. Over the past several years, they have expanded their focus to competitive cooking, mostly through the SCA. Both qualified for the SCA World Championship in both Steak and Ancillary each of the
last two seasons. In 2021, Josh had 4 SCA Steak wins along with 2 Ancillary wins on his way to finishing in the top 50 in the country. Ben picked up his first Steak win this year in his first full season. Between about 30 tailgating dates, 20 competition dates,
and various school and charity functions, we constantly look for opportunities to light the fire and spend time with family and friends outdoors.

We are a couple/ educators that have lost so many times that every time we win we consider ourselves lucky. We also promote bbq and SCA events to raise money for different charities.

In competition we are considered one of the best Tri Tip cookers in the Southwest.

My name is Fidel Astorga. I started cooking competition bbq in 2013. We were a family team consisting of my wife and two boys. When my kids got older they could no longer go with me to bbq competitions so I teamed up with two other cooks from Utah and formed the Utah BBQ Company. We have cooked all over the country and loved doing it. In 2015 I was able to win my first World Brisket Championship and have been hooked on bbq ever since. In 2019 my son started cooking in the Steak Cook-off competitions. We loved cooking side by side. In 2021 we both qualified to cook at the 2022 Steak World Finals in Fort Worth, TX. I believe we are now both hooked.
