BBQ Team
For over two generations, Big Show BBQ has been crafting authentic Kansas City-style barbecue, a tradition as rich as our signature sauce. Founded in the heart of barbecue country, we've earned our place among Kansas City's most respected pitmasters through an unwavering commitment to time-honored smoking techniques and recipes that tell the story of our city's celebrated BBQ heritage. Led by pitmaster "Big Jim", following in the footsteps of his friend and founder "Big Show" Joe, our championship competition team travels nationwide, collecting accolades and sharing the distinctive flavors that put Kansas City barbecue on the map. Each cut of meat is carefully selected, expertly seasoned, and slow-smoked to perfection using closely guarded family recipes that have been refined through generations.
From intimate gatherings to grand corporate events, our full-service catering brings the authentic taste of Kansas City to your table. Every platter features our award-winning meats paired with house-made sauces that strike the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and bold flavors that Kansas City BBQ is famous for. We're more than just a BBQ team or catering company – we're proud stewards of Kansas City's barbecue tradition and active members of our community. Through initiatives like our celebrated "Butt Sale" fundraisers, we're committed to giving back while serving up the flavors that have made Kansas City a worldwide barbecue destination. At Big Show BBQ, we don't just serve barbecue – we serve history, tradition, and the true taste of Kansas City, one perfectly smoked bite at a time.
