The FedEx St. Jude Championship took place August 8-14, 2022, where thousands of golf fans enjoyed entertaining golf competition and delicious POP eats all while contributing to great causes. Taking place at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, TN, the Proof S&E Golf Team set up 30 premium hospitality venues along with six concession locations.

Our culinary team is considered to be smoked meat experts. Being that this event took place in Memphis, we were ready to take it up a notch! We smoked 2,200 pounds of brisket—13,692 total pounds for our premium locations—and another 5,210 pounds for concessions. Some of our smoked selections included:

Concession Options:

  • Chopped Smoked Beef Rib Tacos
  • Smoked Beef Rib Cheesesteak
  • Smoked Chicken Tinga Tacos

Premium Location Options:

  • Smoked Brisket
  • Smoked Turkey Sliders

Sustainability is a top priority for both Proof of the Pudding and the PGA Tour. An impressive 20,000 aluminum cups replaced all plastic cups across the course. These cups not only served as a sustainable vehicle for refreshing drinks, but they also work as great souvenirs to take home and reuse!

Partnering with local communities is another perk of travelling golf tournaments. At FESJ, our concessions program partnered with four area nonprofits for a fundraising opportunity. We proudly donate. Groups receive a percentage of overall concessions sales and tips while working in the stands!

What can we say? The entire event turned out to be a hole-in-one success! Take a look below for mouth-watering photos and the full menu.
