LeRoy & Lewis
AFWA Grant: $5,000
An Honorable Mention in 2016, LeRoy & Lewis BBQ Truck and Catering is committed to local sourcing, whole-animal utilization of responsibly-raised animals, and pushing the boundaries of traditional barbecue with nontraditional cuts and innovative menu items.
Led by chef and pitmaster Evan LeRoy, the operation's goal is to be a model of a successful, community-minded, and ethical business while creating elevated yet accessible cuisine. The grant funded cold storage space and equipment to expand its whole-animal butchery program and overall operations.
