About Us

Great food doesn’t need a fancy restaurant kitchen — it just needs the right tools, the right flavors, and a little know-how.

At Griddle Goods, our mission is simple: help backyard cooks make restaurant-quality food on their grills and griddles.

We design and curate seasoning blends, cooking tools, and outdoor cooking gear that we actually use ourselves when filming recipes and cooking in our own backyard. Everything we sell is inspired by years of cooking experience, recipe testing, and feedback from thousands of outdoor cooking fans.

Whether you’re smashing burgers on a flat top griddle, smoking a brisket, or firing up a weeknight dinner outside, our goal is to give you the products that make outdoor cooking easier, more flavorful, and more fun.

Our Story

Griddle Goods started the same way most great backyard meals do — standing around a hot grill with a spatula in hand.

We’re Neal and Amy, the husband-and-wife team behind the outdoor cooking websites The Flat Top King and Pellets and Pits, where we share recipes, tutorials, and honest product reviews for backyard cooks.

But long before the websites and YouTube videos, cooking was already a huge part of our lives.

From Professional Kitchens to Backyard Grills

Neal’s cooking journey started long before Griddle Goods existed.

He served as a cook in the United States Navy, where he learned how to prepare meals for hundreds of sailors at a time. After leaving the Navy, he worked his way through restaurant kitchens before becoming a chef at a high-end steakhouse.

That experience shaped how he cooks today:

Hot grills.
Simple ingredients.
Big flavor.

Now Neal brings those professional techniques to backyard cooks through our recipes, videos, and products.

The Question We Kept Getting

As our cooking websites and YouTube channel grew, we started hearing the same questions over and over again:

“What seasoning are you using?”
“Where did you get that burger press?”
“What tools should I buy for my griddle?”

We realized something important.

Many of the products we loved using didn’t exist yet — at least not the way we wanted them.

So we decided to make them ourselves.

Why We Created Griddle Goods

Griddle Goods was created to give backyard cooks the same tools and flavors we rely on when we cook.

Every product in our shop is inspired by real cooking experience and real recipes.

Our seasoning blends were developed to work specifically for outdoor cooking — especially for smash burgers, grilled meats, and griddle favorites.

Our tools are the ones we reach for every time we fire up the grill.

Nothing is added to our store unless we actually use it in our own cooking.

If it doesn’t earn a permanent place in our outdoor kitchen, we don’t sell it.

From Our Backyard to Yours

When you buy from Griddle Goods, you’re supporting a small family-run business built by people who truly love outdoor cooking.

Everything we sell is something we believe in, use ourselves, and share with our audience.

Because at the end of the day, great food isn’t about fancy kitchens.

It’s about gathering around the grill, cooking something delicious, and sharing it with the people you care about.

So fire up the griddle.

Smash some burgers.

And let’s cook something awesome.
