- Trident Grill was opened in August of 2001 by Nelson Miller, retired US Navy SEAL. Trident is named after the special warfare insignia that all Navy SEALs wear on their uniforms. Miller was still active duty while opening the original Trident Grill and was called to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a patriot of our country, he answered the call to duty. While serving his country he still had to remain involved in his newest venture. He fell in love with the Arizona desert and culture of the Southwest when doing special training ops in Tucson and nearby areas.
Originally out of Maryland, Miller wanted to bring a touch of East Coast flavors and culture to the Southwest. As an avid sports fan, Miller wanted to bring energy and passion to entertain and serve the Tucson local community. The military presence in Tucson was a big factor in his decision and he wanted to have a special place for veterans to grab a beer, eat and laugh together. His trident concept was based on: why can't you go to a bar/pub/sports grill and not have something other than bad bar food!! The East Coast-inspired menu brought items such as Old Bay-dusted peel and eat shrimp, bacon-wrapped scallops, lump blue crab cakes and a special recipe from his grandmother for clam chowder. Adding to that with oversized sandwiches and grass-fed burgers proved to be a winning combination of variety and quality that the Tucson local community came to love.
In appreciation of the support from the local community and military, the Trident Grill supports many military charities, local high schools, animal shelters and intramural sports. We believe in grass-roots support for the local community that frequents the Trident Grill, which is the foundation of our success.

Here’s a little tidbit about Nelson I tell anyone who will listen, and everyone if they don’t want to listen. In November of 2014, I was in a near fatal motorcycle wreck. I was in icu at banner umc across the street from trident 1. My father came out and spent the time he wasn’t with me over at trident 1. Nelson and his team took great care of my father keeping his spirits up. After I woke from coma, the Nelson and his team would often send over a plate of food to give me a break from the hospital food. The kindness and love we received from Nelson and his trident 1 team will never be forgotten by me, or my family. SFMF. THANK YOU!!!
That does not surprise me one bit based on the vibe i'm getting in this interview. God bless him and you.
Thank you so much for this. I love these type of stories and will absolutely pay them a visit if we’re ever out that way from QC! Glad to see you recovered as well!
You still ride motorcycles?
@@gapshot5065 I did up till about a year ago. Medical reasons. Just haven’t got the nerve to sell my bike though.
I had no idea he was a Navy SEAL at the time of the incident I'm about to describe but I now recognize this man as someone who wants helped me when my car was broken down. I am a man and I have had many flat tires and broken down vehicles but rarely, if ever, has anyone pulled over to help me. One night when I was driving back to North Carolina for college after visiting family up north I had a flat tire just outside of Virginia Beach. It was pretty late at night going on towards midnight. I didn't have a spare. I was sitting there debating what I should do whether or not to call a tow truck or whatever else my options might be when this guy in a truck pulled up and asked me if there was anything he could do to help. I said well unless you have a spare tire in your car that you're going to let me borrow to get back into town then probably not but I appreciate the offer. He said well I don't but I can give you a ride into town and help you get one. I said this time of night? He said yeah just hop in, I got you. I didn't get a weird buy from him at all. We chatted on the way there and he was a really cool laid-back guy and said that he was in the Navy etc etc. Long story short He took me back to a friend's house who had a spare tire that he was willing to let me have. I asked him how I would get it back to him And he said that I could just keep it. He drove me back out to my car and the tire did not fit so this man offered to take me to a motel where I could stay for the night and figure it out in the morning. Being a broke college kid this really wasn't an option for me which I told him. He said well I would let you crash at my place but I have to leave at 5:00 a.m. so he ended up paying for me to get a motel room. I was just shocked that he was being so nice that he offered to do that. I insisted that he give me his address and phone number so I can pay him back. He wouldn't. If you read these comments thank you so much for helping me that night. You have no idea how much of an impact that interaction had on me. Little did I know that I was being helped by a goddamn American war hero!
This is awesome
This dude is awesome, so mature, grounded, humble, confident. He's the real deal
Had some great workups and good deployments with ST 2 and 4 in 90s when I was with 2nd Force Recon. Good dudes both those Teams were disciplined and old school. We got along great supported each other like brothers in Somalia other places.
Thank you for your sacrifices for our country 🇺🇸 hopefully we get it back
Duff!!!!
Shoutout to Dave for asking excellent questions, and keeping the conversation flowing.
It was an honor working for Nelson at the first Trident. He's a fascinating man, and anyone who has the pleasure of meeting him is sincerely lucky.
Did he just say that he feels likes he’s just been one big run on sentence?!?! This guy is freaking AWESOME!!!!! I honestly want more, like just stories. The chemical story is nuts and never heard it
Great interview, incredible individual. Thank you for letting him talk without interruption.
this dude's amazing, so humble.
Thank you to Nelson, this was a great episode and sorry to hear his dog passed away last week. The Greater Good Org mission in Ukraine is an honorable thing to help those animals in the war zone. Loved hearing more details about the Jessica Lynch rescue and the Bio/Chem dry hole AFO mission. Thanks to Nelson, Dave, Jack and D for a great one!
Salute and thank you for being respectful of Lynch. Such a complete professional.
The way he brings his story to life and tells it keeps you waiting for the finish and the next mission .Down to earth and kept his act together threw a lot of crap.
I love him, his style. Reminds me of my husband and his friends. The old school NSW, my husband’s friends are always talking about it. Their first chief was very old school, but when their chief was replaced, it was by a very joe navy type, and many decided to get out of the Navy because of it. They liked the old school hazing, lack of micromanaging, the trust. Their new chief was almost a political/corporate type. They hated him. My husband stayed for awhile longer, but after Covid got out. Its similar because I’ve had different department chiefs. Chill and then 2 dimensional squares.
I’m glad he’s on vacation in this, most guys come on here in all the same outfits but he got the floral shirt on, chillin 🤣🤣🤣 this is great
I married a navy man, bet he has some deployment pictures with a Hawaiian shirt on too. Working with military all my career, NSW is the most chillaxed of them all.
I remember being new at ST2 and NM was there. Great to see you guys check in with him. Lots of what he did after 2 we in the regulars were purposely kept ignorant of. Did visit one of his grills in Tuscon 8-10 years ago. Lots of photos of guys I knew, no longer with us.
Open a sixth Trident Grill location but call it “Trident Grill 9”.
The competition will think you have 9 locations.
Nellie is a special dude, glad to know him even if only a little. He is a character for sure. Oh and HTTR!
Luv Seals and love Nelson 💘...he reminds me of my favorite Seal Don Shipley ❤!. Just love these heroes! Thanks guys!
This guy must use the same shampoo Don Shipley uses…….
They actually look like they could be related
Saltwater, Semtex, and gunpowder?
He just wakes up and his natural musk makes his hair look like that
As the legend goes every seal is issued a book deal, hair gel, and a signal mirror to check their hair.

You guys are awesome. Been watching a few years now. Passed through Tucson and hit the original Trident grill. Legit place and good food. Nelson is another good dude with a great story. Thanks for doing the show!
Outstanding content as always fellas, Nelson thank you for your service! It's a travesty that this channel doesn't have a few million followers...
Your all freaking awesome. Nelson Miller thank you for your service and all you've done in your life for this country.
This guy’s like a badass humble Bradley Cooper
This was a great interview. I enjoyed the free flowing discussion and the healthy dose of humor. Nelson seems like a most excellent human being, American and vet. Thank you all for providing this platform to hear from the humble heroes amongst us.
This was a fantastic interview.Thankyou frogman Nelson.A Viet nam era Serve instructor.God Bless sir and Thankyou for your bravery.
Nelson Miller is the best SF presenter I have seen - kudos to him
He seems like a real chill guy. All these badass dudes look like normal people. Imagine some drunk asshole running into him, you cant even really tell he's a badass SEAL yet he can kill you with his hands lol
Seals don’t have extensive grappling training at all. Not likely that he would kill someone with his hands
@@JC-zl4mqI’m guessing the guy can probably handle his business
This is awesome, thanks gentlemen!
Wow this is truly a beautiful story love these podcasts you learn so much
What a great interview. Super genuine, awesome guy. I felt like for the last 2 hours we were all at a table, drinking beers, listening to a super dope run on sentence.
Great interview. Direct, to the point, good follow up questions.
It’s like a young Don Shipley.
If I saw him in Vegas I'd never think he was even military let alone a tier 1 seal. He's low key
I sincerely enjoyed this one.
Really cool interview. The nicer the Operator, the less I’d want to see their wrath. And this man seems super nice.
Another "be careful who you mess with" learning moment.
This guy seems chill af! Great guest!
Very Entertaining Dude , and he knows he is fortunate for the opportunities he seemed to have earned. ✌🏼
I hope he opens a Trident Grill in North Phoenix! Would be a great location for him and our community would love to have him here.
Great talk!
Fantastic interview thank you. Liked and subscribed. Funny enough I live in AZ (outside of Phoenix) but my sister lives in Tucson so I will go to one of his pubs.
Awesome episode!
As a young/snot nose support dude at the group, I got to do some support with NM and 100% he held us accountable but was never demeaning. Always LOUD, but that was just him. Awesome interview!
Man that was enjoyable to listen to. Guy is a great speaker for sure
Andy stumpf had "the little blonde chick" on his podcast. She is a tough human and pretty cool to boot.
Would love to have Nelson on POD with Andy Stumpf seems like they were in the same unit around the same time
Stumpf has had a couple of other guys from gold on his podcast from that time frame who were involved in that deployment, Bill Rapier and Jason Silva, and they discuss it if you are interested. Cheers.
Thanks for showing these Seals who aren't doing the alpha-male, manosphere and LARPing gimick. More realness and less of a marketing ploy if any at all.
What's larping ? And what's wrong with people trying to make bread
@@redskyatnight123 Larping is like when they pretend to be in some cool anti-child trafficking gig but then it really turns out to just be a grift to sell merch. People are starting to get wary of these alpha-male life coaches. They start off innocently enough with "we-should-be-more-confident" but the more popular ones devolve into "your-wife-is-your-property" or "there's-no-reason-for-men-to-just-be-friends-with-women-unless-its-for-procreation". At the very least, its silliness is cringey but at the worst it creates a precedent for spousal abuse for men who are prone to believing these antics.
It doesn’t really count as Larping if they’ve actually done it
Live Action Role PlayING -Larping
Some dudes are taking the alpha-male thing too far. One ex-USMC dude here was yelling at his wife when she didn't want to do as many reps and sets during an outdoor workout they did together. He's like one of those dudes who made a small fortune flipping houses and spews motivational alpha-male stuff to a willing audience whenever there's one even in the middle of a workout in the gym.
The guest has a proper attitude. I wish we would have worked together.
Nelson Miller is so fucking cool !
What an honor to hear him speak .
As salamu alaykum ❤
Another great episode!
Man,, I wish he could of gone more into the Bosnia stuff.. It’s like he skipped over that entire era of operations and went right into the Iraq stuff. Or maby he did talk about it and he later wanted it cut out for opsec? All in all, great episode. Team House always providing the best guests in the world.. Thank you 🙏 🇺🇸
They did absolutely nothing worthy in Bosnia. That’s why he skipped over it!
I can't believe you don't know this already? You're the world's leading authority, right!? Lol
@@Becarhodzic… That’s not true at all.. There were “some” prolific snatch and grab ops in Bosnia and DevGru played a big part in capturing Radislav Krstic, who was instrumental in the Srebrenica massacre of 7000 Muslim men and boys.
@@nickjohnson710. I know SAS Officer Cedrick Delves was captured in Bosnia and ordered to strip down to his boxer briefs and ordered to walk back to his safe house in Sarajevo? . Legend has it his briefs had a giant Union Jack stitched on the back of them 🇬🇧
Want to know anything else? 😊
@@joesgotya9930 Who mentioned 22SAS because I didn't? How old are you because, I can't believe you're a adult? You're just a US special forces fanboy, who copy's sentences from books that shows you don't have a mind of you're own, do you believe the news and creepy joe biden! I heard from many ex operators, that the US military isn't what it was, with all the forced vaccines and such, and all the experienced guys have gone? Surely they will be serving side by in the proxy war with the regiment, apparently there's 50 UKSF over, but I take what I see on the news with a pinch of salt....I bet you had all vaccines and believe the narrative.....
Awesome interview.
Just came across this Pod cast and watched it from beginning to end, I didn't know you went to Gold after being a Green Team Cadre, I will swing by the OG Triton bar and grill next time I'm in Tuscon.

Nelson looks like a younger Don Shipley or DJ Shipley's brother. Devgru obviously knows how to pick the best!
great interview
Well done!! #LLTB
Amazing story
Seems like a good dude. Former Army. Would have been cool to put some down range with him.
Great hearing from the real.
You guys should cover WARFIGHTER: THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN, the memoir of Colonel Jesse Johnson, who passed away late last year after the book came out. Amazing story. The co-author, Alex Holstein, is an excellent guest, knows the subject matter inside-out, both the Colonel's life and the 40-year history of warfare (and special ops) back-dropping it.
Why is it that higher ups seem to dislike professional war fighters? That is what we are all supposed to be in the combat and support sides? Nelson seems like someone I would've loved to fight for
Greater Good! I am in. I will go to the Trident grill too!
Call me crazy but this guy has Big Lebowski vibes. I’d definitely kick it and knock some pins around the lanes with this guy and just listen to his stories
Andy Stumpf was on The JLynch raid and on the follow on. Nelson glosses over it nicely Andy calls it as it was. Glad to hear Nelson quietly echo both ops BS.
Humble, grateful, kind, professional. I’d follow him to hell wearing a side ponytail…🇺🇸🙏
Did Nelson serve on the USS Saratoga doing ship boardings during Op Desert Shield? We had a bunch of ST2 guys in the early days of Desert Shield.
Weird that I just happen to find myself in Tucson for the next few days.
We call mopp suits n.b.c suits in the u.k, it stands for neuclear,biological and chemical suit and yes it's charcoal the suits are lined with, it absorbs chemicals. you usually get issued fullers earth and chemical detection pads, the fullers earth is a decontamination agent and the pads you stick to your suit they react different colours to tell you what chemicals are in the area, you also get these pads that you use to decontaminate yourself with. its a long,hot and hard to breath experience working in that gear .I actually enjoyed it for some reason and did my advanced n.b.c course as part of my job being a assault engineer. I also did army war graves which was a pretty horrific job, like if the Jessica lynch job had been British those bodies buried at the hospital would be part of my job to recover the remains get each body part correctly bagged and tagged, I would have to do a report on injurys present on the body and a grid reference of where each body was found then send the body's to be sent home for burial, not a nice job but it's nice to know it brings comfort to the families having their loved one home.great interview guys it was really interesting thank you.💙🏴💪🇺🇸
What a cool ass dude 🤙
This cat is a HALO ninja too
It’s not just the rangers, the army is full of acquires 😭😭 iykyk
The petty ass unit politics is what killed it for me. I loved loved the military and would have gladly retired, but I couldn't move past the politics.
When I left the Corps, I should have enlisted into the Army but a sense of loyalty kept me from doing that. But with all the paths to tiered units, how fast the Army promotes, and the massive amount of options and duty stations... Hindsight, that was how I should have finished my military career.
This guy is so humble other team guys embellish stuff
Tip of The Spear. Cream of the Crop. The fiery Crucible of Combat. 😎🔱👍
The Team House suggestion should invite ex-Seal Astrounrat Capt. Chris Cassidy, your show.
How does his laptop mic sound better than your lav mics?
Would be great if y’all could interview a DOE paramilitary security officer for nuclear sites
They did, former Delta operator George “Gio” Hand. He worked out at NTTR
I have always heard the West Coast seals were John Wayne…. Hollywood operators and the reason why the East coast teams were tighter was because Washington DC was an arms reach to view what seals do and how they can be used. DC did not do much visiting to West coast assets. So they always were accused of being loose .
thank you all that will give to the greatergood ..
Bootcamp in Orlando would have been so much better than in Great Lakes.
Ha crazy. I drank at trident in college. Never knew it was seal stuff.
Wasn't he on CBS60min with that woman reporter on a clip about navy seal in Afghanistan when navy seal raid a compound!!
That man has a beautiful set of hair for close to 60.
I would say that he’s is a very interesting Gentleman, but he’d probably be upset with that comment. I always want to know if he is still a Shooter? Does he still Teach / Train others?
Thank you for your Service! 🇺🇸
1:08:08 MOP IV @ +100 is the squishiest squish squish squish deadliest catch
Gru and the Minions
please interview andy stumpf next!
@1:10:45 Andy Stumpf has already spoken about this hit on JRE and multiple times on his own podcast.
So no real reason to keep this objective hush hush any longer
He also had Jessica on his podcast.
I hate to say it but Being he was the chief for the Jessica lynch rescue. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t the typical Envy cancer. So many guys get to do something simply being in the right place. But you see it time and time again. Where someone hits a milestone or accomplishment and every envious POS will come flanking them.. as in. “I didn’t get to be the chief on a hostage rescue, So I’ll just discredit Johnny Jones to bring him back down to my level”. OR “If I couldn’t be the (chief/shooter/medic/officer/pointman) on that op NOBODY WILL GET THE CREDIT FOR IT”. -- those that have been in communities will know exactly what I’m talking about. Rather you wanna admit it or not. -- it’s like everyone is fine until you win the lottery, then all your “friends” file lawsuits for everything under the sun. I’ve seen it happen 10-15 times on different scales with guys.
I was an AO! IYOYAS!
Is there a team guy who has not don’t social media content?? Just one!
"Shes a hot blonde from West Virginia"
I was expecting much more of you Murphy in this interview. Why didn't you ask him about the articles on his team misconducts ?
Hilarious Orlando is land locked yet the navy boot camp was there. Politics and Sean tor Bob Graham... F'n joke a mall was closer then even a lake. Much less the Atlantic Ocean
Great interviewers, love the topics. But damn Bro....stop with the cigars-it doesn't look natural, it's creepy.
Algorithm.
Notice everyone else was always the problem…
damn he dogged the Army too much lol. that chief that wouldn't give him his e9 actually is the one who shouldn't be chief, poor leader.
Do you know God from meat rack?
Wonder if he has ever "Canoed" someone?
Of course he has, that’s just a headshot basically that canoes the head, you think he hasn’t taken many headshots through his time with DevGroup?
Secondly, this is a f##king show dog with f##king papers. You can't board it. It gets upset. Its hair falls out.
“OVER THE LINE!”

Yall still infighting over who shot OBL😅😂😅
