Griddle Nation

Overview

Griddle Nation is a feel-good food series celebrating griddle-loving home cooks from across the USA, spotlighting the creativity, flavors, and personal stories that come to life on a flat top. Each episode focuses on a food theme and features real home cooks who submit videos showcasing their griddle skills, inventive twists, and the traditions behind their dishes. Hosts, Nate Lippy, and, CJ Frazier, explore the roots of each theme before putting their own spin on the recipes, blending technique, storytelling, and playful competition.


CJ is the spirited voice of the everyday cook. Proudly “not a chef,” CJ is driven by the simple idea that the best part of cooking is feeding the people around you. His approach is rooted in experimentation and the simple joy of gathering friends and family around delicious food.
