Local Smoke BBQ started as a competition BBQ team named Fat Angel BBQ in 2007, cooking at contests throughout the Northeast. After a very successful inaugural season, in which they won Rookie of the Year honors, they opened Local Smoke BBQ, our full-service catering company. Local Smoke BBQ quickly became one of New Jersey’s most popular BBQ caterers and in 2011, opened its first two BBQ restaurants.
Thier competition BBQ team has represented New Jersey at contests all over the country including Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia, Nevada and in almost every state from Virginia to Vermont. They have collected over 100 awards including 4 New Jersey State Championship titles. Other highlights include 1st place in Ribs against 488 teams at the American Royal BBQ contest in Kansas City (which is also known as the World Series of BBQ) and 1st place in Brisket at the National BBQ Festival in Douglas, GA.
