What is the story behind your business' name?

At Good News BBQ, we believe good food brings people together—and nothing says “good news” like the smell of slow-smoked meats and homemade sides! Founded with a passion for authentic barbecue and a heart for community, we serve up bold flavors, tender cuts, and the kind of meals that make you feel right at home.

Whether you're grabbing lunch on the go or feeding a crowd at your next event, Good News BBQ is here to spread the joy—one plate at a time. Come find us, follow the smoke, and taste the good news.

Where did you learn to cook?

My mom taught me how to season with balance—bold but not overwhelming—and my dad showed me the rhythm of BBQ: low and slow, patience over perfection. I learned that BBQ wasn’t just about food—it was about timing, family, and care. Whether it was brisket, ribs, or smoked sausage, every dish was a lesson in trust and tradition. Eventually, they let me take the lead. My first solo smoke was nerve-wracking, but they stood nearby, offering gentle pointers without stepping in. Now, when I fire up the grill, I still hear their voices guiding me. It’s more than cooking—it’s continuing a legacy.

Why did you decide to start your business?

I started a small business because I wanted to turn something deeply personal into something that could bring people together. For me, BBQ wasn’t just food—it was connection. It was learning from my parents, spending weekends surrounded by smoke, spice, and stories. Over time, I realized that what we were cooking meant something to others too. People lit up when they tasted it, asked for seconds, wanted to know the secret behind the flavors.

Who encouraged you the most to start your own business?

The people who encouraged me most to start my own business were my parents. They saw my passion long before I did—whether it was the way I got lost in the process of cooking, how I cared about the little details, or how much joy it gave me to share food with others.

What's your favorite event that you've catered for?

The Benchmade Knives event stands out as one of my absolute favorite catering experiences. It wasn’t just about the food—it was about the people, the energy, and the respect they showed for craft and quality, which really resonated with me. That day, it wasn’t just knives being celebrated—it was craftsmanship in all forms. And that’s why it’s stuck with me.
