Strap in, I have lot of information to share!!
First things first, we will not be at the Beverly Hills Farmers Market this Sunday 9/8/24. It’s supposed to be over 100° in Beverly Hills on Sunday. End of story. We’ll see ya next week.
Beverly Hills Next Night Street Festival
Saturday, September 28.
The city of Beverly Hills and the folks at Next Beverly Hills have asked us to participate in this event.
Some of you guys already know that this event is huge. Definitely the largest event that we’ve ever participated in. Last year’s event had an estimated attendance of 5000 people. That’s biblical!
Because this is a Saturday evening event, we will not be at the Farmers Market the following day. I apologize in advance.
For more information, here’s a link to the city if Beverly Hills website.

Heritage Fire Festival
In March of this year, we participated in the LA Wine and Food Festival. We were told that we were the most popular booth for the entire weekend. Well, the presenters of that festival have created a competition so that it can be proven once and for all. We’ve been invited to compete on Sunday October 6 in the parking lot of the Bonaventure Hotel downtown. How the competition works, the invited “chefs” (eye roll) will make a dish for festival attendees to sample. Attendees will then vote for their favorite bite. Real scientific. The winner gets a wooden plaque and bragging rights. Other competitors, Heritage BBQ of San Juan Capistrano, the only California bbq restaurant with a Michelin star. Needless to say, I plan on bringing my A game because I’m not coming to lose. I’ll be testing dishes in the coming weeks.
If you’re interested in coming to this event, you can pre-order your tickets with the discount code BLACKCATBBQ. General admission is $125 and VIP is $175. You read those numbers right.

As well, we’ll be missing that Sunday’s market. I apologize in advance.
Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes
($3 discount to anyone who can name that song!)
I started this business in 2017 and I’ve always cooked the bbq at my house and I’ve always done everything else at a commissary kitchen. This set up has not been ideal, but my chosen style of cooking has made it an inherent pain in the tuchas. As most of you know, I’ve hoped to start my own restaurant, and before Covid struck, I was on my way. I’m not going to cry over spilled milk, because that’ll probably drive me crazy.
Moving forward, I’m going to doing the next best thing. I’ve found a commissary kitchen in East LA that will let me bring my smoker, so we'll be moving in there in the coming weeks. We will be adding a few more farmers markets, and more opportunities for folks to buy our food. I’m excited about this change, but I’m also scared. Stay tuned for other changes.
