For the folks who think men make the best grillers, ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥an Elaine Bray would like to beg to differ.
And she can back it up.
She recently beat out her fellow grill masters from throughout the Southwest to become the regional champion of LongHorn Steakhouse’s Steak Master Series, an epic culinary competition that pits the national chain's top-performing grilling experts in a quest for the national champion
She is now one of just 60 LongHorn grillers — they started with 5,000 — to compete for the national title.
Bray is the grill master at LongHorn's ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Mall area location, 4421 N. Oracle Road. Grill masters are trained and certified in the art of grilling.
Bray, a ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ native, will now have a shot to compete in semifinal rounds that will produce seven top contenders to battle in the finals at LongHorn’s headquarters in Orlando, Florida, later this month.
