About
Live Fire BBQ was founded in 2020 by Chef Greg and Chef Chris Neal. According to the website, the concept took shape after Chef Greg lost his position as a GM/Chef in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the first time in his 33-year career that he was unemployed, and subsequently contracted the virus and spent time in isolation. During this period he reflected on childhood food memories, particularly his grandfather’s Fourth of July tradition of slow-smoking a whole hog over hardwood on July 3rd using simple ingredients and a homemade “mop sauce,” while family gathered to celebrate.
Inspired by that memory, Greg partnered with his friend and fellow chef of 20 years, Chris Neal. The website notes that the two had previously collaborated with numerous award-winning chefs and shared a passion for achieving “Smoked Perfection,” which they set out to pursue as business partners.
