It all started when…
In 2007 Rick’s kids pooled their money together and bought him his first smoker, a Masterbilt Digital Smoker, about the size of a mini fridge. His favorite Christmas present ever, meant to be his hobby, quickly turned to a passion and a craft he spent hours honing to perfection. He added other BBQs, smokers AND grills over the years until recently his wife asked, “Is it really necessary for us to have 5 smokers in the garage?”
He is currently down to 3 smokers. His wife is happy:-).
Rick’s attention to detail when it comes to the food he prepares and serves is evident. He does not take short cuts, even though it means getting up at 1:00 or 3:00 or 4:00 AM to start the fire every morning Big Stick BBQ is open. Like the great Texas BBQ Chefs he has followed for the past 16 years, no time is too early to wake up to make great BBQ!
Rick's motto is; “Low and Slow”.
His side dishes are made fresh daily, with fresh ingredients.
He has taken BBQ and made it an art form.
Rick and Linda live in Bellingham Washington where they raised their children and enjoy watching their grandchildren growing up right here as well. When not working at the restaurant or the food truck, you can find Rick and Linda playing cribbage at a local brewery or wine tasting at nearby Woodinville, Washington.
THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR GUEST!
