The Power of Barbecue: “So barbecue brings people together and, just watching the enjoyment of people’s faces when they get together and they’re eating barbecue. We’re just having a good time.”
— Adam Grant
A Barbecue Journey
Adam Grant’s love for barbecuing started as a hobby, cooking for friends and family at gatherings and events. As he picked up more catering gigs and received positive feedback, the idea of turning his passion into a full-fledged business took hold. Inspired by his personal preference to enjoy barbecue without buns, Grant concocted the brilliant idea of pulled pork tacos. The marriage of tender pulled pork, tangy coleslaw, and homemade zesty sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla became an instant hit. This simple creation laid the foundation for what would become Smoke Shack Food Truck, where barbecue meets tacos and nachos in perfect harmony.
The Menu’s Must-Haves
When it comes to Smoke Shack’s menu, it’s hard to pinpoint just one favorite. However, there are a few dishes that stand out among the crowd. The Shack mac, a unique take on mac and cheese, features the perfect blend of smoky flavor and creamy goodness. Topped with savory smoked brisket or succulent pork belly, this elevated comfort food is a crowd pleaser. If you’re looking for something extra indulgent, the nachos loaded with crispy pulled pork, cheese sauce, and all the fixings are sure to satisfy any craving.
What sets Smoke Shack apart from other food trucks is the unexpected combination of flavors. Customers may initially be confused by the presence of tacos and nachos on the menu of a barbecue joint, but one taste is enough to clear any doubt. Grant’s expertise in balancing the rich, smoky flavors of barbecue with the freshness of coleslaw, zesty sauce, and pimento cheese creates a delightful explosion of taste that keeps customers hooked.
