Waymaker BBQ has always been a dream of mine. My mom taught me at a young age how to cook breakfast. There was something special about cooking that drew me in, seeing the smiles, the love and family. When I was around 14 years old, I started cooking on a grill and fell in love with cooking. I'm from Illinois and our family came from a strong background of Soul Food. I moved to North Carolina in 2002 and started a family. The south was very welcoming, it was something different than we had ever seen. North Carolina BBQ. It deserves its own sentence, nothing more needs to be said about NC BBQ. I bought a smoker and that was that. I've been smoking meat since 2004, putting a southern twist along with a background of Soul Food from up north. I began catering fundraisers for several local churches and in Illinois. Over the past few years, I've wanted to pursue my dream of cooking. My mom and siblings have relocated to North Carolina from Illinois. My family all have food service backgrounds and cooking is our passion.  Waymaker BBQ comes from God, by making a way for all of our family to be together and serve the community. Waymaker BBQ is something different and stands out, this is my story of where we come from and we hope you will enjoy the food!
