A love of barbecue, blues, beer, friends, and the need for a good road-trip fueled what has become Barbecue Tours. Smoke Daddy is the Founder and has served in every available role: Strategist; Planner; Marketing; Public Relations; Music; Webmaster; Driver; Navigator; Participant.
Smoke Daddy has visited 230 barbecue joints. He has earned the Ironman award on each of his 12 tours.
After mapping all 50 of the joints highlighted in Texas Monthly’s 1997 Top 50 and learning of the imminent demise of Kreuz Market (on the square), the first BBQ Tour was planned in the summer of 1999.
