Phil the Grill (Phil Johnson)
Phoenix, Arizona
Phil Johnson thrives on being different. He has been internationally recognized as a Firemaster Champion by competing on Food Network Canada’s “Fire Masters.” Before that, he was a contestant on Food Network’s “BBQ Brawl — Flay vs. Symon.”
Phil’s Rub Me All Over Smoky Sweet Heat Rub was named 19th overall by the American Royal World Series of Barbecue’s “2020 Best Rub on the Planet” contest, the largest BBQ rub contest in the world.
Using his own rub for all his competitions has also given him a chance to showcase his distinct flavor profile on a larger platform—and it has caught the attention of the world in a big way.
