LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Derrick McCray, senior owner and CEO of McCray's Backyard Bar-B-Q & Seafood in West Palm Beach, has made more appearances at the Super Bowl than the Miami Dolphins. On February 11, 2022, during Super Bowl LVI, he'll serve up more than his world-famous Floribbean barbecue when he kicks off his National Sports and Entertainment Program at the Player Networking Event (PNE) in Los Angeles.

McCray's Backyard Bar-B-Q & Seafood has a celebrity fanbase that includes Serena Williams, Richard Dove Williams, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Sheryl Underwood, Former United States Representative Kendrick Meek, Hall-of-Famer Larry Little, and much more. McCray's has a long-standing relationship with the NFL and will be the exclusive food and beverage partner of the PNE, providing its guests with tasting experiences while supporting the organization's goal of facilitating networking experiences for its attendees. The PNE works with active and former NFL players interested in pursuing business ventures through corporate recruiting, mentorships, and other opportunities designed to facilitate career and business success. At Super Bowl LVI, McCray's will market, promote, co-brand, and distribute food and beverage products at PNE Central, an elevated, one-of-a-kind tailgate experience for players at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in El Segundo, CA.

“It feels like a miracle every year to be called up to the Super Bowl. We’re that David and Goliath story. We were long shots when no one knew who we were. We just had a barbecue pit, but when they put us on stage with the high society crowds, we perform at a high level,” states Derrick McCray.

McCray's 2022 Super Bowl Activation also includes giving back to the league that has given Derrick McCray so much over the last sixteen years. As part of the National Sports and Entertainment Catering Program, McCray's will offer five collegiate football student athletes a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal for the 2022-23 season.

McCray's Backyard Bar-B-Q & Seafood relationship with the NFL began in 2007 when the restaurant catered its first Super Bowl Tailgate Party in Miami, and it's not a relationship Derrick McCray takes for granted.

"It feels like a miracle every year to be called up to the Super Bowl," McCray told the South Florida Sun Sentinel (2020, Jan 22). "We're that David and Goliath story. We perform like Tom Brady and Drew Brees. We were long shots when no one knew who we were. We just had a barbecue pit, but when they put us on stage with the high society crowds, we perform at a high level."

"We have worked with McCray's Backyard Bar-B-Q & Seafood as the official chef of PNE for over a decade. Annually, NFL players and event attendees crave the McCray's Backyard BBQ experience and always look forward to it every year" states Guy Troupe, Founder & CEO, Player Networking Event.

For the last sixteen years, McCray's has been invited back to cater official NFL-sanctioned Super Bowl events where they serve up their world-famous baby back ribs, delectable Caribbean conch salad, and McCray's signature Twist barbecue sauce. While McCray is always excited to talk about his restaurants' famous dishes, what he's most proud of is being a part of the PNE's mission to promote player-centric career and business initiatives.

"A very long time ago, I was a football player, too," McCray says, referring to his career with the short-lived United States Football League. "I have a certain fondness for the PNE's mission, helping NFL's greats make their graceful transition out of professional football and into other ventures. After all, there's life after football. The PNE gives players opportunities and tools to help them make the transition into that new life. I'm honored to play a small role in that process."
