About Meat Church

Meat Church began with Matt Pittman taking a trip to Central Texas, where one bite of salt-and-pepper brisket pulled him into barbecue.

Matt grew up cooking with his Grandma June in Alabama and learned to value simple, great-tasting food. When barbecue took hold, he went all in and backyard cookouts grew into full competitions. That passion landed him on BBQ Pitmasters, where he saw a path to sharing his own spice blends with barbecue cooks everywhere. Meat Church Holy Cow became his first rub.

Today, Meat Church is more than a collection of seasonings. It is a community for barbecue lovers who want to cook better, eat better and enjoy the time they spend around the fire. Whether you are using our Learn guides to work through a new technique or firing up the pit with Meat Church seasonings, the goal is to help you make better barbecue and feel more confident doing it.

Away from the pit, Matt is at home in Texas with his wife, Tracie, and their four kids, usually keeping the fire going.

Welcome to Meat Church. Let’s cook.
