We’re here to make the best of the time we’ve been given and not waste it.

From the Hell Gate Bridge in our logo to our work, we take pride in our neighborhood and wanna make you proud.

No, the customer is not always right.

If something doesn’t align with our mission and goals, it isn’t our focus.

If something isn’t the right fit, no sense in forcing it.

We don’t have shareholders, we have our neighborhood, and stakeholders who believe in us.

We’re here to make BBQ with just wood, charcoal, fire and stay true to ourselves and neighborhood.

We cultivate this perspective in our business practices, who we partner with, and how we work with our neighborhood.

If you are experiencing a hardship, please talk with Eli (founder / owner) at the event and we will work with you to do our best to make sure you get fed.

… but there are rules and we don’t tolerate certain types of behavior.

BBQing is hard work, but it should also be fun.

We want to use our spending power to enrich and support our neighborhood.

We’re taking the time to build things in a deliberate and meaningful manner.

We don’t see you as dollar signs, we see you as partners in creating something unique.

We would rather do 3x things exceptionally than 6x things moderately well.

BBQ is important to us, but the relationships we’ve built along the way and affect our lives are more important.

It’s critical we don’t forget our roots, who helped us grow, and that we didn’t get here alone.

We believe in our neighborhood more than political parties, and in contributing to its common good as best as possible.

We don’t think you should just trust us. We want to earn it. Whether it’s listing where we source from, or posting donation receipts on Instagram, we’re ready to work for it.

From our BBQ to our work, we want to consistently be putting in the work to improve.

All good things come to an end and it’s important to know when to call it quits.
