Meat Church BBQ Open House 12/2/23

[Purc]

First, a number of my photos didn't show up on my phone, so please forgive my lack of skill. Here are several photos of Matt Pittman's Meat Church BBQ open house. It was packed with a large crowd inside and outside of his store in downtown Waxahachie, TX. Several thousand people were crowding the area in and outside of the store by 11:00 am. You could hardly move inside of the store due to long lines for free beer and ranch water as well as waiting in the register line as well as people just shopping. It was a great event, good samples of various smoked sausages, sliced turkey breast, burnt ends, brisket, hot dogs, a number of pepper jellies, etc. The store sells a number of smokers, pellet grills, bbq tools. various rubs, brines, bbq sauces, etc from a number of producers, Meat Church cutting boards and Meat Church merchandise of all types etc. The store sells many more items than what is listed on their website. I could not take more pics inside due to the crowd came in and we left after our purchases. Matt stood outside to greet everyone. and for photo ops for everyone who want a picture or have merchandise autographed. Mrs "Meat Church" was also seen at the event. Due to the large crowd in the store, my photos were limited. Based on the tremendous turnout of people, I think when asked about the number of people who showed up, Matt would say..."I aint mad at it." He had several pitmasters from out of town in to cook the food for everyone in attendance. A great event in a nice small Texas town.

He's had season tickets to the Cowboys for a number of years and cooks while tailgating at the home games per his comments in several YouTube videos.

Purc - I should have looked for him a month ago when I was there for the Rams game! I love that cooker trailer and the old school wheels!

[barelfly]

Also love seeing that cooker! He had that out at the Star a few weeks back, and has fed the Oline the week before that, if I remember correctly! Maybe one of these days I’ll be in that area!

I wanted to be there. It’s just over an hours drive from the house. It was the granddaughter’s birthday today so we celebrated with the meal she picked out. It was quite a meal too, ribeyes, stir fried green beans, baked potatoes, home made bread, and one of my wife’s incredible tres leches cakes. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’ll make it to Meat Church soon.

Granddaughter knows how to pick a meal! Happy birthday to her!
