Tongue Punch Flavor Company

Hey, I’m Nate Trail — creator, backyard bbq enthusiast, and all-around flavor junkie behind Tongue Punch Flavor Company.

I didn’t grow up on fancy food — I grew up on food that had to taste amazing no matter what. Over the years, I got tired of store-bought seasonings full of fillers and stale herbs that couldn’t hold up to real cooking. So, I started blending my own.

Tongue Punch is my way of sharing bold, unapologetic flavor with everyone who loves good food as much as I do. Every blend is tested on my grill, my smoker, and my kitchen table — and if it doesn’t wow me (and my friends), it doesn’t make the cut.

My line-up has something for everyone: fiery ghost pepper for the brave, sweet strawberry BBQ for the curious, salt-free veggie blend for the health-conscious, and everything in between. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just real-deal flavor.

So, whether you’re cooking for the family, competing on the pit, or just tired of bland bites — welcome to the Tongue Punch family.

Stay bold. Stay hungry. And keep punching bland food in the mouth.
