In loving tribute.

When we were running our food truck business, we wanted it to be a family affair and we were lucky enough to have family members want to be part of it. One of our key members that joined the team for about 2 years was our cousin Greg.

If you ever had the pleasure of meeting him while he was working with us, you would have known it. He always had a funny story to share, ALWAYS had a friendly smile, and had the most glorious voice. Unfortunately, we lost Greg this weekend.

Greg was Matt's cousin. He was a wonderful husband to his wife Madonna and father to his 2 daughters. A fun fact about him was that he was a long term member of The Court Revelers, singing troupe at the MN Renaissance Festival. He also was involved in theatre as an actor and director in many plays.

When I joined the Falck family, Greg was one of the first people to welcome me into the family with open arms. I knew that I married into a wonderful family just by knowing him. Greg had the BEST stories. I literally could listen to him for hours.

Thank you Greg for your service, for being an amazing friend and cousin, and also for being one of a kind.

Greg - your impact on us and seeing your impacts on others shows that you are already missed.

Lots of love,
Jen

We have been fortunate enough to know Aaron and Missy for years with competing, and they are owners of one of our favorite BBQ places, Northern Fire Grilling and Supply in Minnetonka. In case you hadn't heard, Aaron was involved in a car accident last Tuesday, where a dump truck hit his truck head on on Highway 169. Three good samaritans were able to pull him out of his truck before it caught fire.

Aaron has a long road of recovery. Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. Please take a look at this letter for the Minnesota BBQ Society's President.

If you are able to help in any way for our friends' recovery, it is much appreciated.

Today was a really fun day. We competed in the 2nd Annual Smoke Your Ace Off BBQ competition at Bent Brewstillery in Roseville. This competition supports the Invisible Wounds Project. Matt and I had two categories.... beer can chicken and tri tip steak. We had a pretty good cook today. 😀

Results:
4th place chicken 🐔
10th place tri tip 🐄

Congratulations to all the teams that had their names called. A special thank you goes out to Midwest Rubs, Frattalone's Ace Hardware, and Bent Brewstillery for this fun event.

Next year will be even more fun! We can't wait to compete again next year.

Practice makes perfect. I haven't felt this good about a brisket in a long time.

🔥You guys! 🔥

If you miss our food truck, don't fret. The new owners of the trailer had their grand opening today in Downtown Stillwater. We were lucky enough to snag one of the last brisket sandwiches, and it is on point!!! Be sure to like and follow The Saltbox BBQ to see where they are at next.

Everything is sold out, and their bbq is legit.

We are so happy for them and know they will do fantastic things. Congratulations JC, Jessica, and family on your new business!!!

Two thumbs way up!!! 👍👍

This has to be one of the saddest situations our old smoker Bessie has been in.

We hope she still works.
