Go Big or Go BBQ
"Go Big or Go BBQ came from a passion for cooking and creating experiences with my family. I can remember my first pork shoulder being cooked on a charcoal grill for Christmas one year, it didn't turn out perfect but my family loved it none the less. Our first competition was in 2014, and although we came in last place, the memories and support we had was enough to push us to keep on going. We took first place the next year in the Pork category! Fast forward to 2019 and we have competed and won and grown from a hobby into a small business that is still supported by our family! Check out our awards below and as always #Gobigorgobbq!" -Aaron Huentelman
