Cambro Manufacturing

1 year ago

Erin Smith and Patrick Feges, the visionary duo behind Feges BBQ, met in the kitchen and began their relationship with the shared love of food. Erin has a background in fine dining and Patrick is a self-taught pitmaster who was awarded a Purple Heart from injuries sustained during a tour in Iraq. In March 2018 they joined forces to create Feges BBQ–traditional BBQ with a contemporary twist. Feges BBQ embodies a fusion of tradition, innovation and a deep-rooted passion for bringing people together through exceptional flavors.

What do you love about your business?

“I loved the idea of doing something that would make people happy, highlight cultures and traditions, and be part of family gatherings. Our business has allowed us to build a team we love and be an important part of our community. It’s also given us the opportunity to travel all over the world spreading the gospel of Texas BBQ!”

What’s the most interesting thing to happen to your business?

“We’ve been acknowledged in the Houston Chronicle for our charitable efforts and received the Community Award from Chef’s Table; being acknowledged for our contributions to the community is paramount to us. We also traveled to Finland this past September to teach a BBQ class. That was very cool!”
