Canton Resident Wins LongHorn Steak Master Series Competition

CANTON, GA -- Canton resident Chris McCoy, culinary team member at the LongHorn Steakhouse in Canton, was recently recognized as the regional winner of the company’s Steak Master Series competition.

This honor is bestowed upon the top performing culinary team members in the company. He is one of just 60 team members from LongHorn Steakhouse to achieve this distinction.

The series was created by LongHorn Steakhouse to celebrate the restaurant’s commitment to grilling expertise, to challenge its culinary team members to continuously strive for excellence and sharpen their skills, and it provides an opportunity to recognize team members in a unique way.

“We are thrilled that Chris was named the regional Steak Master Series winner,” said Paul Livrieri, executive vice president of operations at LongHorn Steakhouse. “This recognition is a true testament to his dedication to grilling expertise, and to providing outstanding food and perfectly grilled steaks to our guests.”

A LongHorn Steakhouse veteran of 10 years, McCoy started cooking at the early age of 16. He enjoys working in the fast-paced, ever-changing restaurant industry.

“Participating on the Steak Master Series competition has been a great experience,” McCoy said. “It gives my team members pride to see me go this far, and I’m happy to know they’re cheering me on.”

All of the nearly 6,000 culinary team members at LongHorn Steakhouse locations nationwide were invited to participate in the Steak Master Series, which took the form of written and culinary tests. First place regional Steak Master Series winners – including McCoy – will now compete for a chance to become one of seven division finalists. These seven finalists will travel to LongHorn Steakhouse headquarters in Orlando to compete for the title of Steak Master Series Champion.
