Backyard BBQ with Fire and Spice invites you to gather around the grill, smoker, and fire pit for creative recipes and infectious enthusiasm for smoked meat and seafood.
Tony Ramirez, also known as TFTI BBQ on social media, has honed his backyard barbecue skills over a span of nearly 20 years in the Bay Area. He is entirely self-taught, but draws heavily on his parents’ cooking and culinary traditions—Filipino and Cajun. TFTI BBQ recipes are known for their unique but approachable flavor combinations and techniques that sometimes bend the barbeque "rules." Tony has partnered with a variety of major brands from Chargriller and Camp Chef to Miller Lite and Nomad, and is beloved in the live fire barbeque community—frequently appearing with other high-level creators.
