“A WARPIGS History”

by Owner and Pitmaster Larry H

I started bbq’ing in my backyard as a hobby with my then roommate Bryan Lakey about 9 years ago. Soon after, I entered a couple of competitions and had some immediate success. I thought I was gonna win the Grand Royal right away! I then decided to stalk out my mentor Gary Park of G's Slow Smoked BBQ.

After about a month of harassment, Gary Park agreed to let me shadow him. Gary showed me his day to day operation and how to be a #bbqhustler. During the Sonoma County fires of 2018 I stalked my next mentor, Oscar Camacho of @camachossouthernstylebbq. I asked Camacho if he was going to help feed first responders during the fires and if I could help. He graciously accepted my help even though he knew nothing about me. Since then Camacho has welcomed me in and been open with all his information.

When I decided to take the next step in my evolution @Juncture_taproom and @Remys lounge were there to invite me in and help me with the next steps of growth. Now you can find my meats at pop-up BBQ beer parings, private parties and Catering gigs. I am forever thankful to everyone in this journey. To my family, friends and customers; THANK YOU
