Our Story

Matt never expected to make barbecue for a living, much less to the acclaim he has received. Growing up in Kingston, Ontario, he started cooking at young age with his parents and grandparents. He began by emulating his mother and grandmother, sitting cross-legged on the countertop while they baked. His love of cooking came from his father, who took pride in home cooked meals from a variety of cuisines. He spent a large part of his time as a teenager watching cooking programs both old and new, attempting his best at emulating them.

After graduating from Master’s studies, Matt took a number of jobs in the cultural heritage field. It was after his father passed in 2016 that he became fed up with the precarious employment of contract work and decided to pursue his passion of cooking.

After helping build one of the top Texas Barbecue restaurants in Toronto, Matt moved his small family back to his hometown of Kingston in 2020. Slowly building a following through pop-ups and wedding catering, Matt brings Texas Style Craft Barbecue to Kingston, Prince Edward County, Belleville, Napanee, Brockville and everywhere in between.
