Evansville resident to compete in finals of national grilling competition
Dave Powers works at the Evansville LongHorn steakhouse and will be competing in the final round of LongHorn Steakhouse's eighth annual Steak Master Series.
Officials state Powers is one of seven finalists out of thousands of participants, who will be going for a $15,000 prize and the title of Steak Master Series Champion on May 15 during a one-day grill-off in Orlando.
'The Steak Master Series has been an exciting opportunity to meet the competition and the management teams as well. I've always wanted to see the Orlando Restaurant Support Center,' said Powers. 'As I move forward in the competition, my restaurant team's advice has been to just be myself and do what I do every day!'
