🔪🍗 When the chicken is this good, you need a good knife to go with it!

Our own Megha McSwain caught up with Curtis Jaques from Cutco Cutlery at Chicken Fight & Burger Brawl to talk about one seriously cool prize: winners took home an American-made 7” Santoku knife, backed by Cutco’s commitment to replace it if it ever becomes dull or damaged. 🔪

Because bragging rights are great… but a knife that’s ready for the next cookout? Even better. 🔥

Make sure you head over to ourknifeman.com for all you knife needs!

Meet Tom, one of our most loyal friends, back again for another year of chicken, burgers, and everything in between. 🍗🍔

We caught up with him at this year’s event and loved hearing how long he’s been part of the DiningOut family.

Only problem? We lost his contact info along the way.
If you know Tom, or you ARE Tom, comment or DM us.

We’d love to show him some appreciation for years of showing up and showing out. 🙌
