Grilling one million steaks is no small feat, but for Mt. Juliet resident Robert Hunt, it’s a testament to 27 years of passion, precision, and excellence. A Cleveland, Tennessee native and a Grill Master at LongHorn Steakhouse, Hunt has earned the prestigious title of Grill Master Legend, joining an elite group of just 28 LongHorn Grill Masters nationwide to achieve this remarkable milestone.
As part of LongHorn’s commitment to quality, every restaurant has a team of professional Grill Masters specially trained in the art of grilling. They are in-house specialists in selecting the right cut of fresh, never-frozen steak, seasoning with one of the restaurant’s proprietary spice blends, and grilling to each guest’s taste. Only the best become LongHorn’s Grill Masters.
Hunt, who is an essential part of the team at LongHorn’s Mt. Juliet location, is described by colleagues as the “heart of the kitchen with an infectious smile.” A mentor to his team for over two decades, Hunt is passionate about helping newer members understand and embrace LongHorn’s commitment to quality. His consistency, attention to detail, and positive attitude have made him a cornerstone of operations and a true master of his craft at his restaurant.
To honor this extraordinary achievement, Hunt was celebrated with a surprise event hosted by his restaurant team, family, and company leaders. The event included the presentation of a gold chef coat, a $5,000 award, and a visit from LongHorn Steakhouse President Laura Williamson, who praised his unwavering dedication. The celebration continued as Mt. Juliet City Manager Kenny Martin presented Hunt with an official proclamation from the City recognizing his achievement.
LongHorn Steakhouse’s culture is rooted in the incredible people that work in its restaurants, and this award is part of ongoing efforts to recognize extraordinary individuals for hard work and dedication to steak. For more information on LongHorn Steakhouse, visit www.LongHornSteakhouse.com.
