You Grill Girl presents dame prom!
THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2025
You Grill, Girl! is a one-of-a-kind female-focused culinary event that celebrates a passion for grilling, cooking, and making. Hosted by Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin Chapter and presented by YETI, the event brings together talented pitmasters and chefs to showcase their unique grilling skills and delicious dishes. Taking over the parking lot of legendary Franklin BBQ, attendees will indulge in an array of mouth-watering barbecue, grilled meats, vegetables, desserts, and other delectable treats, all cooked to perfection by some of the best chefs and restaurateurs in the region. In addition to the delicious food, guests also will enjoy custom cocktails by Jessica Sanders of DrinkWell, local beer and wine, specialty non-alcoholic beverages, music by DJ Cassandra, and a very popular silent auction, making for a fun and memorable evening.
This year's theme is DAME PROM. It's not fancy, but it's a whole lot of throw back fun. Dust off your shoulder pads and make your hair big for a chance to be crowned Best Dressed and win two VIP tickets to 2026 You Grill Girl!
Not only does You Grill, Girl! provide a platform for local grillers and makers to showcase their talents and skills in the traditionally male-dominated world of grilling, but it also supports a great cause. All proceeds from the event go towards Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin Chapter's programs and initiatives, including providing grants and scholarships for women working in food, beverage, and hospitality.
