Alright y’all, it’s been an INSANELY busy week, but we’re making time for this. We’re in the final stretch, let’s get this stadium built! 🩷🏈

Menasha High School has a shot at $1 MILLION in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights competition, and we need everyone showing up!

After the tornado hit our community just a few months ago, we saw how people come together when it matters. Let’s keep that going and help give these students and our community something huge to celebrate.

We even turned the smoker T-Mobile pink for the occasion! 🩷🔥

Just wanna give a huge shoutout to Bar-A-BBQ in Montgomery, Texas. Coop and his team are incredible, and I’m grateful I got to spend the last couple days working alongside them and taking in so much.

This crew cares about every single facet of this operation. You can see the blood, sweat, and tears they put into every day they open their doors. That level of care shows up in the food, the people, and everything happening behind the scenes.

They held nothing back. Every question I asked, every process I wanted to understand, they were willing to share, explain, and teach. That kind of generosity says a lot about the people they are.

I did my best to work hard and bring some value in return. If they were willing to give me their time and knowledge, I wanted to earn my place alongside them and help however I could.

I went down there with a simple goal: be a little better than I was yesterday. I’m coming home with plenty to work on, a ton of knowledge, and even more respect for the BBQ industry.

Special shoutout to Alec, Lance, and Pedro for letting me invade their pit room and answering all my off-the-wall questions over the last couple days. 😂

Coop and crew, thank you for welcoming me in and treating me like part of the team. This trip meant a lot to me, and I can’t wait to put what I learned to work back home. Much love and respect, can’t wait to watch you guys continue to crush 🤘

Brisket chili season looks a little different this year!

I’m headed off to Texas after this batch, but Tomorrow Teddy will be at the Ope North brewery for opetoberfest serving up our brisket chili in a couple ways, made with Opetoberfest b**r from Ope Brewing Co. Our Creekstone Farms brisket and their fall brew coming together in one hearty bowl or maybe Teddy will launch some on some fries for a BANGIN’ chili cheese fry!

Grab a b**r, grab some chili, and hang out with us. Fall gunna be tasting pretty good tomorrow! 🍻

✈️ Headed to Montgomery, Texas this weekend.

I’m heading down to Bar-A BBQ (Top 50 Texas Monthly BBQ Spot) to spend a few days working side by side with Cooper and his team, and I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity. One thing I’ve learned in this business is that there will always be somebody better than you at something. You can let your ego get in the way of that, or you can recognize it for what it is, an opportunity to learn. There is ALWAYS another level. Another way to improve your process, your food, your leadership, your efficiency, or the way you run your business.

Cooper is someone I consider one of the GOATs in BBQ right now, his story is awesome, and beyond the food, he’s running a business that faces a lot of the same challenges we’re experiencing as we continue to grow HK.

Never stop being a student of the craft.

P.S. Dont worry, the crew here is holding down the fort while im gone so trucks will still be out, catering will still be had, and the restaurant will still be open!

From my first paying customer to my right-hand man 🤘 the world works in weird ass ways!

Eddie got back from Florida and within a week was working full time with me over here slangin’ BBQ. Since then, this man has stepped up, taken the lead, and crushed every part of his role.

Tonight, he grabbed the trailer, hooked it up, and headed over to the brewery to run a great service with Isabelle, while I prepped the truck for tomorrows event and also allowing me the time to go to the kiddo’s fall fest at school. Seeing him take ownership and handle it means more to me than he probably knows.

I appreciate EVERY person on this team who keeps showing up, stepping up, and growing with me. Shout out to Dawn, Addyson, Eddie, Tom, Isabelle and Big Kev for keeping things rockin’ on the Appleton side of things!! This thing couldn’t be what it is without y’all.

Hopefully anyone who ate tonight, enjoyed their dinner!! Appreciate you all too!

🚨 New Menu Alert 🚨

First things first…..I don’t wanna hear it about the Mac and cheese 🤣🤣🤣 now that we are past that ………. Starting next week at Ope North we are going to be launching a brand new menu. This menu also may be used randomly throughout the year depending on feedback.

Why you might ask????

Well……..for multiple reasons, the first one being we need to be prepared to serve throughout the winter via the trailer and the trailer is limited on equiptment and what it can all do. We want to have items that we can ensure won’t run out so we are never 100% out of food. Lastly, I cannot work the trailer forever so we wanted to ensure, anyone who was working the trailer would be able to execute the menu and be consistent, every time. Things like the Mac and cheese seem like a no brainer but the Mac and cheese we put on the truck is far different than most places who just go get bagged Mac and cheese that turns to mush overtime and still gets served.

With that being said, I do think this menu looks and feels super good, I think it’s a fun and unique hybrid of the restaraunt and food truck with a unique twist on some of the stuff we’ve simply been doing forever. We kept the staples (brisket, pork, sausage, beans and cornbread) and crafted them into a twisted menu of sandwiches, loaded cups, walking tacos and loaded dogs.

Nothing is set in stone and I’m sure this is not the last change you will see.

Now…….Keep in mind we will be running this alongside SPECIALS we’ve been working on when we can such as:

- Texas Twinkies right off the smoker
- BBQ Flatbreads & Pizza’s (been testing for a while, still trying to dial it in)
- Pig Wings (amazing if you’ve never had em’)
- Our Brisket Chili (the best in my mom’s eyes)
- Smoked Mac bowls (as a special)
- Loaded Smoked Potatoes (crowd favorite when it gets cold)
- And others I’m sure……

Let me know what you think ⬇️

Hi, Dustin here.......

I KNOW alot of you applied through our link we posted, I promise i have recieved everyones application. Good news, I have not reached out to ANYONE as of yet, because i have to get through the next week or so of events before I can even think about trying to bring someone on and training them lol.

However, expect me to start reaching out because we certainly will need a few in the coming months.

With that said, if you are interested in just simply being "on-call" for catering jobs and random needs, please reach out because i could use those immediately, if you are looking for something a bit more permanent, be patient and I promise to get ahold of you as soon as i catch up!
