LOVE AND SMOKE BARBECUE

AWARD-WINNING SMOKED BEEF BRISKET, PORK RIBS, CHICKENS, TURKEYS, AND PLANT-BASED PROTEINS

Creating delicious barbecue following the Central-Texas method of "low and slow" pit-smoked style cooking at lower temperatures for an extended period of time. We use special dry rubs tailored for each type of smoked meat, and let those rubs and the smooth nature of both California white oak and real Texas pecan wood smoke create an unforgettable flavor. And in the Texas tradition, sauce is most definitely optional. Available for event catering of all sizes, special events, fairs/festivals, farmers' markets, delivery and pop-up/drive-up in the San Francisco Bay area.

Catering

Whatever type of BBQ event you’re planning – from the boardroom to the backyard, we can help make it a success. Sure, we do weddings, birthdays, and corporate events. But c’mon, it’s California! Which means we also do everything from skateboard contests to sporting events. No matter what the event is – don’t worry about the food. We’ll take care of everything. Call us today and let us help you make plans for an unforgettable experience, Texas style.

Markets

You'll find us at select farmers' markets around the San Francisco Bay Area throughout the year, and we will be updating the location on our online calendar. No matter where you live, we want to bring the best in "low and slow" Texas-style BBQ to you, wherever you are around the Bay!

Events

We are planning to attend an assortment of local Bay Area and Northern California food events and festivals throughout the year, and will keep those updated on our online calendar. Whether it's a championship BBQ festival or other type of event, we plan to show Californians everywhere just what real Texas BBQ is all about!

Delivery

Although it's early in the planning stages right now, we plan to eventually bring area-wide delivery of all our smoked meats to San Francisco and all the surrounding regions of the Bay Area. Sign up for our regular email newsletter and we'll keep you informed about the timing of our delivery operation!

Drive-Up

We are currently in the process of securing a new commercial kitchen/commissary arrangement, and once that has been accomplished, will be posting plans for a regular drive-up operation at a soon-to-be-announced location in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Pop-Ups

We are currently in the planning stages for regular pop-up events to take place at various locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Similar to our presence at select Bay Area farmers' markets, we will be announcing these locations in the near future, and you can learn all about these locations by subscribing to our regular email newsletter and by following our blog and social media channels!

BILL S. • SAN MATEO, CA

“ These were the best ribs we've had outside of Austin, Texas!! They were extremely tender and flavorful. If you get the chance to try these, we advise you do. We will definitely be having these again real soon! ”

SUSAN D. • SAN CARLOS, CA

“ REAL, honest-to-goodness Texas-style "pit-smoke" barbeque .... right here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Aren't we lucky?! Had the pork ribs tonight - the smokey aroma was amazing, and the meat was cooked perfectly. Tender, flavorful .... delicious. ”

JULIE N. • REDWOOD CITY, CA

“ We had Love and Smoke come out and personally cater a party down at Chrissy Field in SF. Mark brought the BBQ Ribs and Smoked Chicken. The ribs were incredible, with a great flavor that didn't require any sauce (which Mark had highlighted in his introductory speech before serving us). The Smoked Chicken was equally amazing. He was easily the most personable caterer I've ever experienced, thoughtfully engaging with all in the group and generous (He even brought his own tent, and plastic tables when he heard we did not have them). I am now looking for an excuse to have another catered party, just to have Mark there again (and so I can try their Smoked Brisket). ”

BRIAN K. • SAN FRANCISCO, CA

“ Awesome and to die for Texas Style BBQ! We hired L&S to cater our Company's 30th Celebration and everyone loved it! The brisket and ribs were amazing, I highly recommend in hiring them for any event. Very friendly, honest, and can accommodate any of your needs. I promise you will not be disappointed. I have them saved in my tickler for the next Company celebration. ”
