Our BBQ Vendors
See below for a list of the Craft BBQ Vendors who will be cooking on site during this festival. This list of Pitmasters was carefully selected from this event. It is comprised of some of the best up and coming Texas Style BBQ vendors in the Southeast. All BBQ present will be cooked on site on an offset style hard wood burning smoker. The selections of meat will vary however you can count on each vendor to specialize in premium Texas Style Sliced Brisket. There will be smoked sausages, ribs, and other carefully crafted meats and sides available.

Two brothers, Smith and Pratt Mathews, opened Hop Atomica in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Hop Atomica is a Brewery, Distillery, and Restaurant. While their main focus is highly elevated neighborhood pub fare, one of the main passions of the Mathews brothers is Texas Style Craft Barbecue. This is a Texas Style BBQ spin off of their already successful Hop Atomica model. For now it is limited to select pop-ups on their wood fired 500 gal offset pit smoker, but the eventual plan is to open a barbecue focused brewery & distillery. Catch them at the festival doing some fun variations on classic Texas Style Craft Barbecue.
