COMPETITOR
PB&J'S BBQ
HEAD COOK: Bert McLain
COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship
The History of PB&J’s BBQ- PB&J’s BBQ has been making award winning BBQ since 2012. It began with watching a BBQ show on TV one weekend followed by a couple (or 100+) YouTube videos later and the BBQ obsession was on. Pitmaster Bert (or as almost everyone in the BBQ world knows him as “Skippy”) was ready to learn. Bert has taken countless BBQ classes in the last 10 years by well known BBQ Pitmasters (Bert has even taught a few of these classes himself and made a cameo on a BBQ episode of Darkhorse Nation featured on The History Channel!) Bert has been asked to tag along to be “the pit-*assistant” for many of our #BBQFAMILY members when they have needed help at competitions that we didn’t sign up for ourselves. This man bleeds BBQ and after starting this as a hobby it most definitely turned into a passion. His dream turned into a reality as we dip our BBQ knives into the world of BBQ vending with our new vending trailer. After being in the mortgage business for over 15 years, he now runs his successful BBQ food trailer. It's not just a hobby anymore! -✌🏻❤️& BBQ
