Our approach is simple

Source the best quality ingredients, keep it simple and cook it the right way.

Prime Barbecue brings together the best of all great BBQ techniques to create something uniquely its own. The process begins with the best meats, seasoned with perfect spice blends and then smoked with 100% hardwood for many, many hours until the perfect harmony of smoke, flavor and tenderness emerges. Our food is steeped in tradition, but given new life. No matter what you grew up with good barbecue speaks for itself.

High Quality Barbecue

We cook our barbecue with plenty of wood and time, adding just the right amount of salt and spice to let that lovely marriage of passion and process evolve into something transcendent.

Christopher Prieto is a champion pitmaster, book author, barbecue judge, teacher and barbecue eating expert.

His journey into cooking and the world of barbecue began when he was a child. Fond memories of growing up in Texas and his desire to find the “soul” of barbecue sent him on a personal quest to perfect the art and science of slow-smoked meats.

Today, after years of cooking on the professional barbecue circuit, teaching barbecue classes nationwide and cooking all over the country, Christopher believes he has finally achieved what he considers “barbecue excellence” with his own signature style.
