About Us

Steve
Father and husband who often smells of smoke and owns very few shirts without stains.  More specifically, I grew up in the Tampa Bay area (there aren’t many of us natives) and went to college at the University of South Florida (GO BULLS!).  If you don’t see me spending time at home with my awesome wife two sons, I am probably out on the water somewhere, coaching T-ball or tailgating in a parking lot.  I am the youngest of 3 boys so I had to eat whatever was put in front of me, which I think explains why I am really into all kinds of food.  I like to grill or smoke pretty much anything and everything and am fortunate to have a family that is patient enough to wait 10 minutes before each dinner so I can take photos of our meal.

David
I’m a software engineer by training, but perform duties of executive chef in my house at night (and top dish washer).  I live in Tampa, Florida with a wonderful wife and two boys.  I’ve traveled throughout the world, experiencing the wonderful variety of culture and food.  From Chicago hot dogs under the ‘L’ to North Carolina pulled pork to fresh crêpes on the streets of Paris, I have tasted all that came across my plate.  I love to travel and usually like to pick destinations where food is a focus of the trip (loved Italy). I’ve taken numerous cooking courses and classes, and have found my love in outdoor cooking where I can relax over a cold beer with friends and family.

Jon
A self professed graphic design geek and grilling enthusiast, I spend 90% of my time creating things in front of either my computer or my outdoor grill. My wonderful wife and I both grew up in Georgia but now call Charlotte, North Carolina our home. Although I’m an adventurist (as in I’ll try ANYTHING) when it comes to eating I have a soft spot for Southern barbecue and am also a firm believer that everything tastes better grilled. There is nothing quite like firing up my grill and cracking a cold one but I do find time for other pleasures. When I’m not relaxing with friends and family you might find me painting a canvas, brewing my own beer or working out in a pointless attempt to burn off all that delicious food.
