TFTI BBQ
"Thanks For The Invite" Barbecue
Who I am
My name is Tony Ramirez or Tone, also known as TFTI BBQ on my social media platforms. I was born in Charleston South Carolina but have lived almost my entire life in the Bay Area of Northern California. My passions revolve around the art of barbecue and savoring a good brew. I’ve honed my backyard barbecue skills over a span of 15+ years, being entirely self-taught through a combination of devouring BBQ Pit Master reruns, YouTube and learning from my own culinary mishaps. Back in 2021 I started my Social Media journey with no realistic ambitions to become anything more than just a guy that posts pictures and videos of good barbecue. Lo and behold it would have turned into a full time career all while supporting my family.
Culinary Flavors
My culinary inclinations are a tribute to my late mother, who was a devoted stay-at-home mom with an unwavering love for cooking. Her roots trace back to Cajun French heritage in Louisiana, while my father hails from the Philippines. He also had a passion for food and was a Chef in the Navy. But when he met my mother she took over the kitchen and he was not allowed back in since. In my cooking, I endeavor to blend the rich culinary traditions of both sides of my family, Cajun and Filipino w/ good barbecue.

Backyard BBQ
One of my greatest pleasures is hosting backyard barbecue gatherings at my home, where I enjoy in preparing great barbecue and providing entertainment for my tight knit circle of friends and family. All while having plenty of drinks.
