Cheers to the start of the 2026 wedding season 🥂✨

We officially had our first wedding of the summer celebrating Makayla and Nicholas at the beautiful Gable Hill! Every single detail was so beautiful!💐

For dinner, our team served brisket, pulled pork, Boursin mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, vegetable medley, and coleslaw.

We would love to cater your event!

Last week was the official kickoff to our busy season ✨🥂

We started things off with an MSUFCU event on Monday night featuring our comfort food favorites, creamy mac & cheese topped with our slow-smoked pulled pork and pulled pork sliders 🤩

If this week was any indication, it’s going to be a fun (and delicious) season ahead 🎉

That bend. That juice. That bark.

This is why we hand carve every brisket for our guests. No trays sitting in the back. No dried out slices. Just perfectly smoked brisket, cut fresh right from the board while your guests watch.

We’d love to cater for you next🥂

Smokeshow Catering
Inspired by vision. Driven by flavor.

🎉Big news… We have a new name!

We are now officially Smokeshow Catering🍾

This change reflects the full range of menus and events we offer. While many know us for BBQ, our kitchen has always been about much more.

What hasn’t changed? The food, the passion, and the owner behind it all. You’ll still see our signature wooden crate buffet setups and brisket hand carved for your guests.

Same team. Same flavor. Just a name that better represents everything we do and an elevated logo! Cheers to this next chapter of Smokeshow Catering!🥂✨

Not all catering looks (or tastes) the same.

At Smokeshow, we’re known for the details that make events stand out:
- A signature crate-style setup that’s both stylish and functional
- Hand-carved brisket, sliced fresh for every guest included for no extra charge with our full-service package.
- Large, beautifully curated appetizer spreads that make a statement
- Custom menus that range from Bousin stuffed chicken, herb crusted prime rib, pasta bars, slow smoked brisket and pork, and so much more.

We specialize in weddings, but we also love feeding a crowd!🎉 Corporate events, galas, and gatherings of all types included. We root our business on thoughtful menus, seamless service, and presentation that actually wows.

If you want catering that feels intentional, elevated, and memorable, we’re your team.🥂

❗️Meet the Owner ❗️

As we head into our 6th summer in business, I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and welcome all of our new followers.

My name is Connor Long, and I’m the owner and head chef of Smokeshow BBQ. I started this business from the ground up in the summer of 2021 at just 19 years old. I’ve always had a passion for cooking, and after attending culinary school, I knew I wanted to build something of my own. With the guidance of incredible mentors, I took the leap and I’ve loved every minute of it.

A few things about me:
- I am newly married as of May 2025! My wife and I planned our wedding ourselves, so I truly understand what couples experience during the planning process.
- My future goal is owning a wedding venue one day. Catering has confirmed that this industry is exactly where I’m meant to be. I love what I do!
- I love to travel, try new foods, and experience new cultures. Like any chef, my favorite meal is one I don’t have to cook 😄

While barbecue is our specialty, we are not limited to it. I’d love to create a custom menu and schedule a tasting that works for you. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, just ask!

📅 We are now booking events for 2026 & 2027! Feel free to send a message or comment below, and I’d love to help make your event unforgettable.

We recently took a moment to pause the work and say thank you to the trade partners who help keep the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Romney Building renovation project moving forward.

We hosted a Trade Contractor Safety Appreciation Lunch in the Michigan Room with our partners and the DTMB team. It was a great reminder that safety is not just a policy on a wall. It is built day by day through planning, communication, and people looking out for one another.

Thank you to DTMB for the space, to Doug Powell for leading the safety discussion, and to Smokeshow BBQ for keeping everyone well fed. Most importantly, thank you to the trade partners who show up every day and set the tone on site.

We appreciate the work you do and the way you do it.
