Crowded Table Barbecue

Our Promise

We have been doing this for a while and we have learned: 

It’s not about the barbecue.  It’s about the lives you touch and the people you meet. It’s about being present and intentional with yourself and your time. 

Awesome barbecue is a by-product of awesome relationships.  It is a catalyst.   An invitation to gather friends and family around a crowded table.

I was born and raised in west-Texas.  Our BBQ reflects this heritage.  Our family moved to Minnesota in the early 2000s.  Everything is done on a live-fire smoker (stick burner).  No pellets, charcoal, or propane.  No basting or steaming.  Just fire and wood.  The way our parents and grandparents used to do smoked meat.  The meat and all sauces and seasonings are 100% natural with no MSG or other additives. Briskets smoke between 14-20hrs, Shoulders smoke 12-15hrs. 

This is our Promise to you.
