A Memorable Day with BBQ Legend Tuffy Stone

Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Crispy Bacon Brussels Sprouts, and Apple Gastrique

This week, we had the incredible honor of having BBQ legend Tuffy Stone join us on the Fogo Charcoal YouTube channel for a very special video. Known for his culinary expertise and his passion for grilling, Tuffy welcomed us into his backyard in Virginia to share a truly remarkable meal that we’ll never forget.

It’s not every day that you get the chance to spend time with one of the best in the business, and Tuffy’s warmth and generosity made this experience even more memorable. As the grill was fired up and the aroma of sizzling food filled the air, it was clear that this wasn’t just a cooking session—it was a celebration of great food, good company, and the joy of grilling.

Tuffy’s menu for the day was nothing short of spectacular: grilled pork tenderloin, crispy bacon brussels sprouts, and a beautifully crafted apple gastrique. Each dish showcased his mastery of flavor and his ability to elevate simple ingredients into something extraordinary. The pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, while the crispy bacon Brussels sprouts brought a delightful crunch that paired beautifully with the savory pork. And the apple gastrique—sweet, tangy, and bold—was the perfect finishing touch, balancing all the flavors to perfection.

Beyond the food, what made this experience so special was the chance to hang out with Tuffy, chat about his journey in BBQ, and get a glimpse into the passion that drives him. We shared stories, laughter, and, of course, a fantastic meal together. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do—bringing people together through food and the love of grilling.

We’re so grateful to Tuffy for inviting us into his home, showing us some grilling techniques, and sharing this amazing recipe. It was a day full of great food, great conversation, and unforgettable memories. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the video on the Fogo Charcoal YouTube channel.
