They may be new to the scene, but the GridIron Grillerz wasted little time in making an impact.
Less than two months after they were founded, the GridIron Grillerz took home H-E-B Tailgater of the Game honors on October 6 before the Texans beat the Bills.
"GridIron Grillerz started in August, 2024 as an idea from years of tailgating with family and friends," Melvin Jones said. "So we are brand new!"
Operating out of the Orange Lot, Jones explained the GridIron Grillerz are comprised of six married couples who can throw down in the culinary arts. While he said their gameday spreads are an eclectic mix, they always feature delicious chicken wings.
"Our wings are the best at NRG Stadium," Jones said. "The H-E-B spicy wing sauce takes the wings to another level, so that is always a must."
The GridIron Grillerz will compete on Christmas Day for the H-E-B Tailgater of the Year Award. While they may be short on experience, they're long on confidence.
"We are so excited about being in the running for H-E-B Tailgater of the Year," Jones said. "We plan on winning the whole thing!"
