Meet Randy

The man at the pit is the man on the phone.

No office, no middleman. When you call Emergency BBQ you're talking to Randy Beckwith himself — the one who plans your menu, cooks your food, works the line and, if you want, spins the music after.

"I am a compassionate person that loves the barbecue — bringing people together for fun, fellowship and family gatherings. We supply the best food. Italian, Mexican-American, whatever you like."
— Randy Beckwith
