Founder and Owner
Holy Hog BBQ

1. What is the Holy Hog BBQ secret recipe?
Our secret is low and slow, we take our
time when smoking the meats. I have been
developing my rubs for over 10 years. I also
like to experiment with different types and
combinations of wood.
2. Are you a BBQ beef or pork rib guy?
I enjoy both, but prefer beef ribs.
3. What is your go to Holy Hog meal and
why?
You can’t go wrong with the Hog & Heifer. It
combines the sweetness from the burnt ends
and saltiness from the pork topped with Cole
slaw. It’s an item on our “secret menu”.
4. If you were only allowed three food
items, two spices, two fruits and a wood
burning grill, what would they be and what
would you grill?
corn on the cob, ribeye steak bone in, potato,
salt, pepper, strawberry and peaches.
I would make fresh roasted corn on the cob, a
baked potato, a thick cut bone in Ribeye, and
for dessert I would have grilled/smoked fruit

kabobs consisting of strawberries and peaches. All seasoned with salt
and pepper as they compliment each item equitably.
5. What is your summer guilty pleasure?
Grilled Chicken Wings and a cold Miller Lite!
6. Are you a beach or pool person?
Beach, there’s nothing like enjoying a Sunday with the family on one
of our beautiful beaches here in Tampa Bay.
7. Finish this sentence: During the summer, I’ll drink lots of…
Goses and Saisons.
