We were originally scheduled to be at the Green Bay Farmers Market on Wednesday evening, but after looking at the forecast and seeing a pretty good chance of rain rolling in, we’ve decided to pivot.

Instead, we’ll be setting up for lunch service at Fleet Farm on Wisconsin Ave in Appleton from 11AM–2PM on Wednesday!

So if you’ve been having brisket withdrawals, craving a mac bowl, or just need an excuse to skip packing a lunch, come see me. We’ll have the smoker rolling, the truck fired up, and plenty of barbecue ready to go.

We’ll keep our fingers crossed for better weather, but one way or another we’re serving barbecue this week. See you at lunch!

One thing about barbecue is that every cook is a gamble.

There are two kinds of “sold out.”

The good kind is when you nailed your projections, fed a ton of people, and happen to run out right at the end of service.

The bad kind is when you completely underestimate how many hungry people are about to show up.

Unfortunately, today was the second one.

When you’re cooking barbecue, there isn’t a magic button to make more brisket appear. Every brisket, pork butt, and pan of mac & cheese has to be cooked hours before the first customer ever walks up. Every event is our best guess at how much food people are going to eat.

Today, I guessed wrong.

To everyone at the racetrack who came looking for barbecue and found a sold-out trailer, I sincerely apologize. We were simply underprepared for the turnout and the amount of support you all showed us.

On the flip side, that’s a pretty awesome problem to have, and we’re incredibly grateful for every single person who stopped by.

Note taken: I apparently forgot just how much you people love those Brisket Mac & Cheese Bowls.

We’ll be back, and next time we’ll bring a lot more brisket.

Quick question for you guys...

I'm kicking around the idea of putting together a Father's Day BBQ pre-order menu for Sunday.

Before I go buying extra meat and firing up the smokers, I want to know if there would actually be any interest.

If we did a Father's Day pre-order for THIS SUNDAY, what would YOU want to see?

🔥 Brisket by the pound?
🔥 Family meal packs?
🔥 Ribs?
🔥 Smoked Chicken?
🔥 Pulled pork?
🔥 Take and Bake Mac & cheese trays?
🔥 Something completely different?

Drop your ideas below. If enough people are interested, if there is enough interest that makes it make sense, we'll put together a menu and make it happen.

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop on what we’ve got cooking this summer, because I know a lot of you have been wondering what’s going on with the food trucks.

We’ve been absolutely slammed with catering, and of course Green Bay has been doing Green Bay things up at the restaurant, but that still leaves two food trucks that need a game plan.

So here’s what we’re thinking…

The big truck is currently getting wrapped and should be finished up in about a week. The trailer has already made a couple appearances out in the wild, but the ultimate goal is to have our Appleton outdoor location finished and open by July 9th.

Once that happens, the trailer will become the permanent ordering unit at the Appleton location. Until then, you’ll probably see me randomly popping up around town for lunch services because… why the hell not?

After Appleton is up and rocking, the big truck will take over the role the trailer played last year, parking lots, special events, corporate lunches, pop-ups, and wherever else we can find hungry people.

I also want to say thank you for being patient with us. We’ve been a little quiet lately, but what started as a fun weekend barbecue project has turned into a full-blown barbecue operation. Every day I’m learning more about how to balance all the moving pieces, and thankfully I’ve got some great people helping guide this thing along.

A few other updates:

- Our new pit is officially complete and should be arriving next week.

- The fryer is installed on the trailer, which means smoked wings are officially becoming a thing, even when we’re out on the road.

- Banana pudding will be available on both the truck and trailer most days because apparently some of you are more addicted to it than the barbecue.

We genuinely appreciate every single person who’s followed along, stopped by, hired us for catering, shared a post, or simply told a friend about us. We’re building this thing one piece at a time, and we’re getting closer every day to what we’ve always envisioned.

❤️🤘❤️

CLOSED……for the day!

First off, THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported us today at the new Appleton location!

Despite what can only be described as a full-blown cottonwood snowstorm, you all still showed up. Apparently yesterday was the day every cottonwood tree in Wisconsin decided to release its entire inventory at once. 😂

Today wasn’t about having a perfect setup. It was about opening the gates, slangin’ some barbecue, getting people familiar with the new spot, and reconnecting with a bunch of faces I haven’t seen in a while. For that, I’m grateful.

We are incredibly excited about where this place is headed. The vision is much bigger than what you saw today. Fire pits, yard games, live music, a big smoker, lighting, and a place where you can hang out, eat some BBQ, and spend a few hours with friends and family. We’re building it one step at a time, but today was a glimpse of what’s to come.

I’m headed off to Vegas for the weekend, but when I get back I’ll be posting the schedule for the Appleton location. We’re going to continue opening it up as we build it out, so expect more opportunities to stop by, grab some food, and watch this thing come together.

The Green Bay Farmers Market is an absolute BANGER!

Two weeks in a row we’ve completely SOLD OUT on both the food truck and at High Kaliber Craft Kitchen. The support is unreal, and we can’t thank you all enough for showing up, spreading the word, and keeping us hustling.

If you missed us at the market, don’t worry…

Tomorrow we’ll be parked up at 1850 N. Silver Spring Dr. in Appleton, from 11AM–6PM, slangin’ barbecue all day long.

Come grab some brisket, pork, mac bowls, sandwiches, or whatever we decide to smoke for the day. More importantly, come hang out and keep me entertained so I don’t get bored sitting out there by myself!!

See you tomorrow!

Alright Appleton... we're gonna do it.

This Thursday, from 11AM–6PM, I'm opening up the food truck at our future Appleton home base and slingin' some BBQ.

Now, before anyone gets too excited, this isn't the full vision yet. We're not completely ready to open the outdoor concept the way we ultimately want to, but we will be far enough along that we'd rather fire up the smoker, open the window, and start serving some food than sit around waiting for everything to be perfect.

We'll have some benches set up so you can hang out and enjoy lunch, we'll have the tunes bumpin' & smoke flyin'

More than anything, this is a simple test day and a chance for everyone to familiarize themselves with where the future Appleton outdoor location will be. Come check out the property, grab some food, and chat with me. I'd love to walk you through some of the ideas we have planned for the space and where we're headed with it.

Who knows... maybe we'll throw together some loaded taters or some other fun s**t for the day too.
