Pitmaster Matt Dallman grew up in Kansas City with a deep love and appreciation of barbeque. In 2001, Matt graduated from The University of Kansas, married a Texas girl and moved to Dallas. After spending several years missing the barbeque of his youth, he found a smoker and dedicated himself to learning everything he could about smoking meat. He has been catering barbeque for 10 years, but really developed his craft through the BBQ competition circuit and competing in events like the American Royal.
