I’m a Certified BBQ Judge with a background in Culinary Arts — but what really shaped this blog was a brisket that humbled me completely. I spent years standing over a hot grill figuring things out the hard way. BBQ Hustle is built on that process: working through failure, keeping notes, and sharing what actually works for real backyard cooks.
