The Blues BBQ Company was started in 2004 with $20,000, a truck and a dream. Two brothers, Patrick and Chris, decided to give the people of Frederick, MD “Real BBQ!” Most of the BBQ found in Maryland was less than average and mostly over-cooked. Dried out beef and pork could be found at almost any BBQ Restaurant. Good BBQ needs to be smoked over wood. Great BBQ needs to be smoked over a wood blend for the perfect amount of time, at the perfect temperature and lived! That’s we strive to do. We don’t smother our BBQ in sauce, we compliment it with sauce. Patrick has traveled all over the country to eat BBQ, finding some great and some not-so-great. These recipes are compiled from tasting BBQ from all over the world.
