About Us

Every summer, like clockwork, Frank Caputo would be in his backyard trying to cook up the perfect rack of ribs for his family and friends.



Back in 2008, the financial service industry, a community he worked in for over 20 years, provided a lot of comfort and security for his young family. But there was one thing that was constantly chipping away at him. Going to work meant enduring an incredibly toxic work environment. It was so bad that in today's working conditions, the abuse he experienced would likely make front-page news.



When he took time off to care for his mental health, he felt blackballed by the community he had dedicated his life to for so long. It left an awful taste in his mouth. Returning wasn't an option.



Frank began to focus on creating the ultimate dry rub and BBQ sauce for his family and friends to enjoy. It ignited a passion that allowed his mind to escape. Developing and tinkering with the recipes was like a form of therapy.



When he thought to buy his first smoker, a Weber Smokey Mountain, the perfect rack of ribs came one step closer to realization.
