Tim McLaughlin officially became the biggest elimination shock of the early season of BBQ Brawl, being eliminated early despite being considered one of the strongest pitmasters in the cast this year. With his extremely strong Texas BBQ background and consistent technique throughout the early challenges, Tim was considered by many fans as a potential champion. Therefore, his early elimination immediately sparked controversy about the judging of season 7. On social media, many viewers began to question whether the show was prioritizing TV personalities and dramatic contestants over cooking consistency or genuine BBQ skills.👇👇👇

What a ride!
Getting to represent Dallas BBQ on a national stage was something we'll never forget, and seeing so many of y'all from near and far cheering Tim on meant even more than the competition itself.
From all of the fan visits at the restaurant and the posts, emails and texts from those watching from afar, to the conversations, support, and even visits from fellow BBQ Brawl castmates, this whole experience reminded us what BBQ is really about: community, connection, and bringing people together around the table. Please keep it coming!!!
Huge THANK YOU to Bobby Flay for believing in Tim from day one and choosing him as his first teammate this season. Being part of Team Bobby was an incredible honor.
And a sincere thank you to Food Network, the entire cast, and the crew behind-the-scenes for all of the hard work, hospitality, and long hours that made this experience so special. We're grateful to have been part of it.
We're incredibly proud of Tim, proud of Team Bobby, and grateful for everyone who's supported Crossbuck throughout this journey.
Remember to keep watching...who knows what will happen?!

Where it all started...Chef Tim stepped away from fine dining to chase the craft of smoking and, alongside Damian, built something that brings both worlds together.
Fine dining roots, built into the rhythm of the pit. Everything here starts with them!

Closer…
A little closer…
Any of our meats can be made into a sandwich. 😉 Pick your cut, we’ll take it from there.

However your Monday’s going, it could use this!
Vermont Cheddar Mac N' Cheese, finished with smoked garlic and our house cold-smoked white cheddar.
Creamy, melty, and exactly what you need right now.

Brisket, done the Crossbuck way.
Texas-sized cuts, wet-aged for tenderness, seasoned with our Guapo Rub, and smoked low and slow over post oak, hickory, and fruit wood until it tells us it’s ready.
Finished with that signature bark people know us for. Sliced fresh to order, every time.

From Dallas to BBQ Brawl! 🔥 Watching our very own Chef Tim McLaughlin represent Crossbuck BBQ on national television was a pretty incredible moment for our entire team.
Episode one introduced the competitors, kicked off the first challenge, and Chef Tim immediately made his mark with a Chili-rubbed Tuna on a Southwestern-Style Ratatouille that earned him the FIRST spot on Team Bobby Flay.
From there, he followed it up with a Grilled Lamb Chop with Savory Mushrooms & Mustard BBQ Sauce that had the judges talking, especially about that bark. 👏
In Tim’s words:
“Watching that first episode back, and getting to experience it with everyone in real time, was honestly pretty surreal. Loved seeing all the amazing people I met during this journey, and really proud to represent Crossbuck on a national stage.
And kudos to Food Network for capturing a few accidental smolder eye moments.”
We couldn’t be prouder to see Crossbuck and Dallas BBQ represented this way. Did you watch? Catch Chef Tim again next Monday at 8 PM CT on BBQ Brawl. 🔥

Of the 12 competitors, only two are from Texas, which quite honestly makes no sense to us.

That sauce drip says everything! 😉
Our St. Louis Style Ribs start with a Memphis-inspired dry rub, get a touch of Kansas City-style sauce, and spend hours in the smoker the Texas way.
Tender with a bite. Smoky with just enough glaze.
