Cubbiehawkbbq

Des Moines, it’s been fun for now! As I get a jumpstart on the next part of Jen & my life by heading to Phoenix to start my new position tomorrow. After about 40 years of living in central Iowa, this will be a huge change for us. So thankful for all of the friends that we have and will be moving away from. We will miss you all! Here’s to trying all of the new foods that Arizona has!

Having some really good friends coming over tonight for a special dinner! Tonight’s menu! gold grade ribeye filet, .campogrande iberico pork secreto and some a A5 striploin! I think we’re gonna have an amazing tasting menu tonight!



What would you most be excited to eat?

Wow, what a Saturday! I was blessed to be asked to be a vendor and serve samples for the first ever GrillFest. It was an absolutely perfect day, outside of too windy for me to get the Santa Maria fired up. We served around 750 samples of Korean short ribs, smoked pork loin, brisket style pork belly (I hate calling it that) and 35 pounds of smoked chicken wings. With all that meat, I got Millie, my loaded down and she handled the wind beautifully! I was so lucky and blessed that my much better half, did so much of my paperwork beforehand and then came and helped our daughter, serve all those folks and were amazing ambassadors for CubbieHawkBBQ! My buddy Bobby came and helped me keep the fire going and helped season and sauce and slice everything! I learned a lot and can’t wait to take everything and keep improving for my next event! Thanks again to all who came out and tried all my samples and for all the feedback! Also, a special thanks to and for having me on & to talk about my bbq journey! I truly appreciate it.
