Our Story
MEET BOB!
Bob Bennett, Founder.
Bob is a scientist at heart. He loves to understand the process and science behind any project that he starts. When starting his barbeque business, he carefully logged cook times, temperatures, seasonings, and wood types to create what he likes to now call “Ohio BBQ”.
Bob is a patient perfectionist, always keeping in mind how others will enjoy his food. His barbeque is juicy, tender, and lightly smoked for mass appeal.
THE BEST BARBEQUE IN YOUR BACKYARD.
How it started…
Our story starts in our own backyard where we hosted friends and family, weekend after weekend, for an entire summer trying to perfect our barbeque style. Being a physicist by education, Bob loved the science of smoking meat, and it eventually became a passion. Bob is self-taught by studying pit-master processes from all over the country. As with every successful cook, our friends and family encouraged us to start a business. Once the smoking process was consistent week after week, we decided to take the leap and start a food truck business. We knew we liked our food, but we weren’t sure people would actually pay for our food!
How it’s going…
After a couple years of running the food truck and building a following, we outgrew the production space on the truck and moved into our small restaurant in Downtown Lancaster, Ohio. That is where we share our love of BBQ with our hometown community! We feel like we are just starting to scratch the surface of sharing our love and passion for great barbeque with everyone who visits our restaurant or enjoys our food at a catered event.
So, welcome to our family! We want to give you the very BEST: the BEST barbeque, the BEST service and the BEST friendly experience that will make you want to hang out with your friends and family in the Backyard making memories!
