BENNIE'S BIO
Bennie Kendrick is native to the central coast of California, specifically the barbecue loving town of Santa Maria, known for its unique style of barbecue - simply seasoned and cooked on a grill over open flame. The childhood memories of barbequing with his grandfather have acted as a source of culinary inspiration for Kendrick. He is a humble, hardworking guy who has always had a hankering for barbeque. He purchased his first Traeger Grill two years ago on a whim, looking for relief from battling depression over the loss of his older brother. He was immediately intrigued by the Traeger Grill’s ability to put out awesome barbeque, smoked and baked goods - even desserts, but little did he know the extent of the positive impact it would have on his life. What started as a hobby has turned into a full-fledged passion. Kendrick began posting photos of his creations on Instagram. His posts were showered with positive feedback, and he was soon noticed and contacted directly by Traeger Grills. Currently, he cooks at least 5 days a week for his family and friends, has gained a following of over 400K people, has achieved the notoriety of being associated with Traeger Grills, but is still a down to earth guy who transformed a hobby into a platform that is positive, educational, and fulfilling.
