We specialize in slow smoked BBQ catering. I take great pride in my cooking, and everything I make is homemade, from my BBQ sauces to my sides.

How it started.

I started cooking for friends in my late teens and early 20s. Smoked meats and grilling were always my thing. As my family grew, I was the one hosting the weekend parties, practicing my craft before I knew it would become my living.

The smoker.

In 2016 I drove to Georgia to pick up my first smoker, a 250 gallon reverse flow. I started catering on weekends while working a full-time sales job. Everything is smoked over oak.

Going full-time.

In 2022 I bought my food trailer and went full-time. Every side and every sauce is homemade, and I prepare everything myself.
