Johnsonville Launches Tongsman Contest<\/strong><\/p>\n

The #JohnsonvilleTongsmanContest asks fans to show off their sausage & grilling skills for chance to compete in a grill-off event and attend the 2021 SEC Championship Game in Atlanta<\/em><\/p>\n

SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis<\/strong>. (September 27, 2021) \u2013 There are Grillmasters and there are Tongsmen: the proudest of the proud carnivores whose level of tailgating and grilling wisdom knows no bounds and recognizes that no grill is complete without sausage.<\/p>\n

This fall, Johnsonville is searching for the best Tongsmen in the South through its Titanium Tongsman Contest. Between now and Oct 31<\/u>, 2021, consumers are asked to share a photo or video to Instagram or Twitter using #JohnsonvilleTongsmanContest, showing off how they make room on the grill for Johnsonville sausage. Is it a favorite sausage recipe? Elite tong-flipping skills? Or maybe just a variety of sausages on the grill?<\/p>\n

After the contest ends on Oct. 31, Johnsonville will choose two finalists to compete in a live cook-off event with Johnsonville before the Dec. 4 SEC Championship game in Atlanta. Each finalist will be paired with a celebrity chef \u2013 either 7-time world BBQ champion and restaurateur Melissa Cookston<\/a> or Chef Richard Ingraham<\/a>, cookbook author and personal chef to Dwayne and Gabrielle Wade and other athletes. The two Tongsmen finalists will battle it out grilling their favorite sausage-based recipe in a 30-minute contest in hopes of being crowned the Titanium Tongsman!<\/p>\n

The grand prize-winning Tongsman will win a new Pit Boss grill, a year\u2019s supply of Johnsonville Sausage, grilling accessories and swag, and a custom set of titanium tongs. The two finalists selected to join Johnsonville on Dec. 4 for the live cook-off event with Melissa Cookston and Richard Ingraham, will also receive a pair of tickets to the SEC Championship game, a $1,000 travel voucher, lodging for two nights and a Tongsman swag bag.<\/p>\n
