About Us

The reality is… Smokey Blue wouldn’t exist without someone encouraging me to follow my dreams and take the leap. There was always a fear of venturing into the uncertain. When I returned to school, I aimed for a degree that promised job security so I chose computer programming. After 12 years of coding at a desk and realizing it wasn’t my strength, my wife inspired me to pursue my true passion: creating amazing barbecue. Since February 2021, I’ve faced long nights, setbacks, and moments of doubt. A mentor once told me that success hinges on the people around you. Our growth is driven by those who believe in our mission. This journey is a collective effort, fueled by a community committed to excellence and a love for great food. That’s Smokey Blue. We’re excited to meet you and serve you.
