After nine years in beautiful Castle Rock, CO, cutting our teeth in catering and food truck services, we moved back to KC in 2019, only to be faced with the harrowing challenges of Covid.

 

It took three years, but in July of 2023 we finally found a building to lease, opening our restaurant in Lawrence, KS to share and spread more BBQ love! Unfortunately, insurmountable ongoing infrastructure repairs and expenses to meet city and health department codes, along with spiraling food costs, sent us packing.​​

​​

Lessons Learned in hand, our goals and priorities have shifted, but the knowledge and skills we've gained still need to be put to good use. So we're making a transition to provide public and private online and in-person, beginner and advanced smoking, grilling, and live-fire classes, a variety of general cooking classes, and developing a super-cool dinner club series!

​

We can't wait to meet all of you to share our tales of success and mistakes, with personalized coaching and mentoring for those who are just getting started, looking to upskill or scale up, or just want to shorten their learning curve!

FCB is extremely excited to provide chefs, pitmasters, and everyday people in KC and beyond with the knowledge, skills and confidence to create delicious, craveable, Insta-worth culinary dishes to be proud of!
