Labor shortages. Rising expectations. Shrinking margins. What if you could tackle all three at once with a simple shift

We fired up the smoker for an unforgettable company cookout at Excalibur in mid-May, with our sales team stepping up as grill masters for the event.
Our team delivered some incredible flavors, using Cajun Smokehouse BBQ and Butter Garlic seasonings on the pulled pork and Better Burger on the patties. The crowd favorite was the pulled pork, slow-cooked for 12 hours until it was perfectly tender and falling apart. Employees enjoyed nearly 100 pounds of the protein, topping it off with The Bearded Butchers BBQ sauces for an extra kick.
It was a one-time lunch event with plenty of leftovers for the second shift. Many thanks to Miller Scales & Food Machines for lending us their Southern Pride BBQ Smoker, which handled the 14-pork shoulders like a champ!

Ultimate Steak & Roast Rub - We use this rub regularly on grilled steak. It's an excellent blend of spices, especially the mustard, which gives a surprising kick. The bold profile really enhances the flavor of beef, hamburger, and vegetables.
