How it all started

Phil grew up In Sour Lake, Texas, his love for food started at a young age, and sports fueled his competitive drive to be the best. He now resides in Bandera Texas with his wife Carmen and their four children. Phil’s first competition was in January of 2015…Hardin County Go Texan in Silsbee, TX. The cookoff had 19 teams and they only called top 3 places in each meat. Phil remembers “I sat on my butt through chicken, then ribs, then brisket until they got to 1st place…Boom! I was hooked.” Now borderline obsessed with the sport of competition barbecue he was constantly mixing up new concoctions to get an edge. That’s when Fowl Play was born, Phil went through many versions starting in 2016 until perfection was reached and he launched LC BBQ Fowl Play in 2018. This same method is still in place, He perfects each recipe and tests them in real competitions until the results let him know it’s a winner. Play Bull debuted later in 2018, with Bosshog and Angry Bull to follow in 2019.

“We are always developing products that are tested in competitions…if we can’t win with them…we don’t release them, why should we expect our customers to trust them if we can’t?”

— Phil Breeden
