About Erica Blaire
From the courtroom to the cook-off.
She was nine or ten the first time her dad let her flip the steaks. She never really left the grill after that. Law school came next, then a criminal defense practice in Miami at 24, then wine.
When her dad said he wanted to open a barbecue restaurant, Erica Blaire learned every protein, signed up for competitions, and kept going until Food Network slid into her DMs. She walked onto BBQ Brawl as the newcomer and walked off as Master of ‘Cue.
