Such a great story from such a humble man. Congratulations on your accomplishments Fred.

What a great story! I’m from Brownsville Texas! And currently live in Austin. And I’ve been in 5 cook offs! I took 3rd on brisket with my Weber kettle! That was my first event ever! I hope I could reach your level! Rio Grand Valley for life!

Yes sir, NO ONE CAN TAKE IT FROM YOU BROTHER.

I go to weslaco to get some fajitas and buy some rubs or seasoning at Rio valley meat market. That's awesome man a world champ!!! I see all the trophies at the shop and awards. Glad y'all opened up another shop in harlingen a little closer to me.

Fantastic story....how we all start....sitting around the patio....hey let's go do some comps see how we stack up....a couple of rib calls this year and now I'm hooked......such a humble beginning and building an empire with the love of family and good food Congratulations Now you're who some of us look up to & admire
