About Local Smoke BBQ: We started as a competition BBQ team named Fat Angel BBQ in 2007. After a very successful inaugural season, in which we were national Rookie Team of the Year, we opened Local Smoke BBQ, our full-service catering company. LSBBQ quickly became one of New Jersey’s most popular BBQ caterers and in 2011, we opened our first two restaurants in Cookstown and Neptune. Our third restaurant in Red Bank opened in 2016, and our Sea Girt location opened in 2021. As we continue to grow and spread the love for irresistible BBQ, we're looking for passionate individuals to join our team. At Local Smoke BBQ, it's not just about cooking; it's about creating an experience, fostering growth, and being part of an exciting journey
