According to a media representative for the competition, West chose to participate in LongHorn Steakhouse’s fifth annual Steak Master Series, a national competition that lets grill masters from across the country put their skills to the test.
He beat out thousands of participants to become the regional winner and one of seven finalists.
West will travel to Orlando, Florida on May 26 for a one-day grill-off. $15,000 in grand prize money is at stake along with the ability to call himself the Steak Master Series Champion.
