The perfect team — Absolutely certifiable insane, but perfect.

Buddy and Dusty Johnson, Founders

This Father and Son team grew up in the shadow of Neyland Stadium and will bleed Orange when cut.  Buddy is the absolute master of the smoker and grill while Dusty assists in the cooking and keeps all the wheels greased and the operation running smooth.

Vicki Johnson & Shelli Eberle,

Executive Managers

Vicki's attention to detail is pretty much world famous at this point and the main reason Big Orange Tailgating continues to deliver time and time again.  Shelli provides crowd management and can raise the level of excitement ten fold with one pull of the gas powered blender.

Mark Corum, Technical Specialist

If it needs installed or fixed, Mark is your man.  Everything from audio/video to the WiFi network in the VOL-Hauler. (That's right, we have WiFi in the vehicle). Mark has been with us for many years and Big Orange Tailgating could not operate without him.  He is an invaluable member of our crew. No actual photo of Mark exists.  He moves too quickly for any camera to catch him. We affectionately refer to this as the Waldo phenomenon.
