The Porkosaurus Story

No one would have guessed that in 1994, a group of FedEx co-workers would come together to create a BBQ team that would grow into a family. Ultimately becoming an award-winning company (OVER 25 YEARS & MOST RECORD MEMPHIS IN MAY WINS) whose owners are as diverse as our flavor is unique.

Porkosaurus began with only a handful of members who equally enjoyed barbecue and camaraderie. After many backyard barbecues with family and friends, we decided to throw our hats into the competitive barbecue ring. Our newly created team quickly learned that cooking in the backyard was vastly different from the competitive barbeque. *Who knew? Determined to master the competitive circuit, our hodgepodge group confidently cooked, pigged out, reflected, learned and repeated.

We even analyzed our competitors by devouring all the bbq we could get our claws on. (For Science...) Through these other competitors, we learned the secrets of low and slow cooking.

Over time our enthusiasm inspired both friends and more co-workers to join our team. What started as a local team in Memphis and grew nationally and internally.

Not only did we expand from a geography standpoint, but our diversity was vast… a chef, an air traffic controller, FDNY firefighter, a police officer, a navy pilot, and a webmaster.

WHO CAME UP WITH PORKOSARUS NAME?

We all came up with the name at my house one night when we decided to take the team in a different direction and adopt a new Name.

We all knew Dinosaurs was a really cool concept so we decided to make up a prehistoric pig and call our selves Porkosaurus. We were going to do things in a big way and have a great future.

HOW DID DINO COME INTO THE MIX?

We wanted to adopt a mascot for the team.

We thought Porkosaurus was going to be prehistoric and we adopted the sort of Dino from the Flintstones. When Ernie came on the team we decided to change and have Dino grow into his tusks and look more threatening

WHO CREATED THE PRODUCT?

All the Members from Porkosaurus have developed the products so it's truly a team effort.

WHAT GOES INTO PERFECTING THE PRODUCT? DOES IT EVER CHANGE?

It does not change we work hard to perfect what we have. Many hours of testing and mixing and cooking with friends and family went into perfecting our products

IS THERE A PROCESS TO CREATING THE PRODUCT?

We test products by tasting and getting consensus on how well they performed and taste. True-time and tested methods only.

IS THERE A SCIENCE BEHIND GETTING THE FLAVOR RIGHT?

We cook with what we like and test it on friends. Our family and friends are the most brutal honest testers we can wish for.

ARE YOU GOING TO INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCT?

Many new exciting products are on the way. Hang on because we are going to hunt after new championships starting with a new Hot BBQ Sauce
