About the Chef

Cooking has always been more than a skill; it’s a way to connect. What started as a simple love for making good food grew into a passion for creating experiences that bring people together around the table.

Every dish is approached with patience and intention, guided by the belief that recipes only go so far. It’s how the food is cooked that truly matters. Real flavor comes from time, care, and a deep respect for the ingredients themselves.

Char BBQ was born from that heart, to share the joy of food that’s cooked right, served with pride, and remembered long after the meal is over.

Char BBQ prepared a special item (Chicago style Italian beef) for a Rotary Club fundraiser, serving nearly 200 people. The beef sandwiches were fantastic; the service was great and the communication with us was impeccable. We always knew what was going on at every stage of the process. What more can you ask for? ... good food, good service and no surprises. We'd work with Char BBQ any time. - Bill D.
