Our Take On Brooke Williamson Saying She Wants To Compete
Brooke Must Have So Many Great Ideas For BBQ Brawl Competitions
As aBBQ Brawljudge and an innovative chef, Brooke must have so many ideas when it comes to the challenges on the show. As she judges, she surely must imagine what she would’ve cooked for each part of the competition.Brooke is a marvel in the kitchen, and it’s always a joy to watch her cook.
I’d love to see Brooke move from being aBBQ Brawljudge to a competitive coach, especially now that she and Bobby are dating. I always enjoyseeing Food Network chefsgive Bobby a run for his money because he’s just so talented, and it would be really fun if that person were his girlfriend.Hopefully, Brooke will become aBBQ Brawlcompetitornext season.
