Meet the Pitmaster - Aaron Craddock 

Aaron Craddock is the proud owner of Craddyshack Southern BBQ, a beloved culinary venture that has quickly made its mark in the food industry. Growing up with a passion for cooking, Aaron never envisioned himself as a business owner. Instead, he spent 17 years working in the oilfield while dedicating his free time to honing his BBQ skills.


In 2020, Aaron decided to transform his long-held passion into a career, and by 2022, Craddyshack Southern BBQ was born. Launching the business without knowing what lay ahead, Aaron's dedication and culinary expertise paid off. In their first year, Craddyshack Southern BBQ won gold in the best food truck category, a testament to their quality and innovation.

Aaron and his team at Craddyshack Southern BBQ are committed to excellence. They prioritize quality, creativity, and customer relationships, striving to create exceptional products that their customers love and trust.
