OUR STORY

A food experience like no other

From a young age, Michael found himself inexplicably drawn to the world of cooking. He would spend countless hours experimenting with flavors and techniques, creating culinary wonders that even impressed his own family. Unbeknownst to him, these early years of culinary exploration were already shaping his destiny.

As time went by, Michael's love for cooking only deepened, and it became clear to him that this was not just a fleeting interest but his true calling in life. By the time he realized his passion, he had already spent a decade refining his skills and gaining invaluable experience in various kitchens.

When the opportunity presented itself, Michael knew that it was time to bring his dream to life. He opened Firehouse BBQ, Catering for barbecue enthusiasts, where he could share his love for smoking delectable meats with the world.

At Firehouse BBQ, Michael's culinary philosophy was simple yet powerful: "If I won't feed it to my family, you won't eat it either!" This creed became the cornerstone of his catering success. He believed that every dish served to his guests should be of the same high standard he would expect to serve his loved ones.

The menu at Firehouse BBQ was a celebration of barbecue traditions from different regions, and Michael infused his own creative flair into each dish. Whether it was tender, smoky ribs with a secret spice rub, succulent pulled pork sandwiches with tangy slaw, or melt-in-your-mouth brisket with a rich, homemade barbecue sauce – every item on the menu was a labor of love.

As word spread about the mouthwatering barbecue and the passionate chef behind it, Firehouse BBQ quickly became a local favorite BBQ catering for food lovers from neighboring towns. Michael's dedication to his craft and his genuine love for cooking were evident in every aspect of his catering.

And so, the legacy of Michael Menzies, the Executive Chef with an unwavering passion for barbecue, continues to burn bright at Firehouse BBQ, inspiring others to follow their culinary dreams and enjoy the pure satisfaction of seeing people's faces light up with joy through the love they put into their food.
