Salt & Pepper BBQ

09/12/2026

Smoke, steel, and serious business.

Fremont, prepare your palates because the ultimate test of fire and flavor is descending upon us.

This Sunday, September 13th, at the Pat Whitney Benefit at Rosenbauer Aerials, we aren't just showing up—we are taking our seats at the ultimate culinary throne.

We’ve officially been summoned as the judges for the BBQ competition.

Let’s get one thing straight: when it comes to bark, smoke rings, and tender perfection, our standards are ruthless, our gaze is unblinking, and our taste buds demand absolute excellence.

Pitmasters, consider this your official warning. Bring your absolute best, because we are inspecting every single millimeter with unmatched style, and a profound respect for true craft.

We are bringing the flair, but we are doing it for a phenomenal cause. Let's pack the house, rally behind Pat, and show what this community is made of.

📍 Rosenbauer Aerials (845 S Broad St, Fremont, NE)

⏰ This Sunday, September 13th | 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

May the smoke roll heavy and the best pitmaster win. See you all out there.

Cancel your diet, clear your calendar, and tell the kids to sit down and buckle up. S&P and Habitat for Humanity are teaming up to feed the backbone of this community—our veterans, first responders, and the heroic families who somehow tolerate them.

The Setup

When: September 12th, 2026, starting at 5:00 PM. Show up on time or watch the hungriest firefighter in town eat your share.

Where: Clemons park, covered seating by the ball fields. Just follow your nose past the outfield fence—if you can smell heaven mixed with oak, you've arrived.

On the Menu: Low-and-slow brisket, pulled pork that requires zero teeth, heavy-duty baked beans, crisp coleslaw, and a tactical strike of Pepper’s Famous cornbread.

We’re putting on this spread to say a proper thank you to the people who keep our neighborhoods safe, sane, and standing upright. You protect the community and country; let us protect (maybe not so much) your waistline for one glorious evening.
Bring your appetite, bring the family, and prepare to loosen your belt a notch or two. See you there.

Hello bbq empire,

We have been wondering how to make the best option possible for these dog days of summer. We have the first responder meal coming up on the 23rd next week at first Lutheran Church out by Johnson Crossing.

Event Details: Gratitude on Wheels
Date: Thursday, July 23
Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

We have decided a cold bottle of water, a choice of chips and your choice of a smoked chicken salad sandwich on monster sourdough and smoked carved turkey sandwich on German Dark rye.

We figured it’s portable, compact and great for walking around looking at the car show.

Hello,

To dispel any confusion, we regret to inform you that we won't be at Clemons park this year. We had discussed this with JCF Days management beforehand, but our name somehow ended up on the list by mistake. We're thrilled that so many of you were looking forward to seeing us, and we appreciate your dedication. We just wanted to set the record straight before people started trekking around in the heat searching for the phantom BBQ.
Please go to Clemons and see all of the other amazing attractions and we will see you all at future events and JCF days next year.

Much love from our family to yours.

They always say, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."
Usually, people mean it as a warning. But around here? That’s just the dinner bell.
In the BBQ world, smoke isn’t a problem—it’s the whole point. It’s what happens when you commit to the long haul, trust the process, and let clean oak wood do its thing over a low, steady burn. You don't get that perfect bark or that deep flavor without a little friction and a lot of patience.
Life works pretty much the same way. The "smoke" is just the grind. It’s the early mornings, the hard work, and the prep time that happens when nobody is watching.
If you’re feeling a little heat or seeing some smoke in your week, don't back off. It just means something great is cooking under the hood.
Keep stoking the fire, keep pushing forward, and let 'em see what you're building.
We’re fired up and ready for the weekend. Come grab a plate and taste the hard work!
