Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of Our BBQ Pitmaster at Blvd Bar BQ & Wings
Ever wondered what it takes to serve the best BBQ in Las Vegas? At Blvd Bar BQ & Wings, it all starts with our dedicated pitmaster, whose passion for smoky, flavorful meats is the heart of our kitchen. Taking a peek behind the scenes gives you a true appreciation for the work, skill, and love that goes into every plate of BBQ we serve.
A typical day begins early, often before sunrise. The pitmaster starts by carefully selecting the freshest cuts of meat, ensuring each piece is perfectly trimmed and ready for seasoning. Whether it’s brisket, ribs, pulled pork, or chicken, every cut is treated with care. Hand-rubbed spices and marinades are applied to enhance the natural flavors of the meat, setting the stage for hours of slow smoking.
The smoking process is both an art and a science. Our pitmaster chooses specific wood types—like hickory, oak, cherry, or apple—to complement each meat. Monitoring smoke levels, temperature, and cooking time is crucial; even small adjustments can make a big difference in the final flavor. Patience is key, as true BBQ is all about cooking low and slow to achieve tender, juicy, perfectly smoked results.
But it’s not just the meat that gets attention. The sides, which are essential to a great BBQ experience, are prepared with equal care. From creamy mac and cheese to tangy coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread, every side is crafted to pair perfectly with the main dishes. This attention to detail ensures that every meal at Blvd Bar BQ & Wings is balanced, satisfying, and memorable.
Throughout the day, the pitmaster balances the demands of the kitchen with prepping for lunch and dinner services, as well as special events and catering orders. It’s a fast-paced environment, but one fueled by a genuine love for BBQ. Every dish that leaves the kitchen reflects hours of skill, patience, and dedication.
