SMOKESHOW BARBEQUE

Hi my name is Matt Gfroerer and simply put Smokeshow Barbeque is the result of 14 years of studying, learning, and mostly eating the best barbeque in Texas... It all started when my wife, Heather, and I moved to Austin in the fall of 2000. In the first week of living there I stopped by this place called Rudy's that was down the street from our apartment. I was instantly hooked. The smokey flavors, the hunks of meat, and the sauce...I couldn't get enough of it!... Fast forward two years and 20 pounds. I was selling software for this good company, but I was so bored. I needed a change. My heart and my bank account said barbeque was where I needed to be. So I wrote a letter to all of the local places around Austin asking them to take a chance on a guy with no experience and to also to teach me all of the tricks of the trade so that I can take Texas barbeque to New England some day.
