All "Q'ued" Up!

Grand Champion and Nationally ranked Steak and BBQ cook. John Lindsey is the pitmaster of ALL Q"UED UP! cooking team.

John Lindsey grew up cooking with his grandmother in the small town of Harrisburg, Ar. At the young age of 3 years old, John’s grandmother would stand him up in a chair in the kitchen and let him watch in amazement as some of the best soul food dishes were prepared on an old-fashioned wood-fired stove in an old-time way. It was these experiences with his grandmother Lille Mae that shaped and piqued his interest in cooking for others. That love of cooking has been a part of John all of his life. Finally, in 2015, John decided to bring his love for cooking and competition together when he entered his first bbq competition in Kennett Mo one Memorial Day Weekend. 

When the dust settled, John walked away from his very first bbq competition with 2 top 5 finishes in chicken and pork and the rest is history. After a great run on the KCBS BBQ Circuit, John started cooking in the Steak Cookoff Association in 2017 and fell in love with the SCA and competition steak cooking after he won his very first cook in White Hall, Ar. Since then, John has cooked hundreds of competitions and had many wins on the competition circuit.

John Lindsey is the Grillmaster of the All Q’ued Up Competition Cooking team and is a sought after grilling instructor, teacher, and talk show personality. He has a full line of seasonings and rubs and is a co host of the popular facebook cooking talk show, Arkassippi Smoke Live.
