About Us
ABOUT US
Michael and Liz met in 10th grade World Civ. class at Benicia High School in 2005. They are madly in love, fueled further by the birth of Henry, their son in 2017. They started this endeavor as a way to share their love of BBQ with the world. They take food seriously but never themselves. After-all, BBQ is art that you eat with your friends, family, neighbors and strangers. This would not have happened if not for the massive collaboration and support from the people most dear in their lives. If you have questions or comments they’d love to hear from you!
