About Meat Church

One Central Texas trip placed Matt Pittman in front of salt-and-pepper brisket and opened a new cooking direction. From that first encounter, the barbecue interests associated with Meat Church began to take form.

Matt Pittman's early cooking memories include Grandma June in Alabama and her preference for direct, great-tasting food. Years of backyard gatherings progressed into barbecue competitions and an appearance on BBQ Pitmasters. The seasoning work followed, beginning with Meat Church Holy Cow as Matt Pittman's first rub.

The community around Meat Church is built for barbecue lovers who want to keep improving. A direct resource for that work is the Learn guidesbefore the next cook begins. Meat Church's broader purpose is to help people create better barbecue with knowledge, seasoning and confidence.

Home for Matt Pittman means Texas, his wife Tracie and their four kids, with meals and the pit never far from view.

Welcome to Meat Church. Let’s cook.
