Meet jay
Jay's journey into the restaurant world took a unique path compared to his brother's. Rather than starting with a passion for cooking, Jay began as a tradesman in printing, working for various local print companies to provide for his family. However, his interest in barbecue competitions ignited a new passion within him.
Teaming up with friends, Jay delved into the world of barbecue competitions, where he found not only enjoyment but also valuable feedback and opportunities to learn. It was during this time that he collaborated with his father, Junior, and his older brother, Chad, to design his own custom smokers. Countless hours were spent in experimentation, trial and error, and rigorous testing to perfect both the smokers themselves and Jay's smoking techniques.
This process was undoubtedly filled with challenges and setbacks, but Jay's dedication and perseverance paid off as he honed his craft. His journey from the world of printing to the realm of barbecue showcases the transformative power of pursuing one's passions and the importance of hard work and collaboration in achieving success.
