Omar is a Dutch Oven cook, come BBQ cook, come Chuck Wagon cook, and has a lot of inspiration to share!

Omar started competitive cooking in 2006 after moving to Idaho from California via Texas. He started with Dutch Oven cooking as a novice then two years later won the World Cast Iron Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In 2008, he moved on to BBQ competitions, then onto Chuckwagon cook-offs.
