Paul Hirsch

Over 20 years of experience stemming from the back-yard to the professional circuit, Paul got his start with competition BBQ by becoming a KCBS Certified BBQ Judge in the spring of 2009.  After various attempts and failures – as is the fate of competition – he saw success which grew from the pains and developed a recipe for achieving goals.

He spends his time studying barbecue science, testing recipes, snapping tasty food photos, and architecting web solutions for small, medium, and large businesses.
