Wood Harvesting

Bob Costarella and his team stockpile locally sourced organic applewood from the Martinelli Orchard in West Sonoma County. 

We believe the quality of wood used to fuel the pit is one of the key foundational components to the process of making exceptional craft barbecue.

Hard work & love, the first two ingredients in every single thing Red Eye Barbecue does.

The Crew Goes to Austin, TX.

Executive Chef Bob Costarella took his pitmasters and our Assistant Director of Operations Wes Skelton on a trip to Austin, Texas, to show the crew what Texas Barbecue really means. They experienced and learned about its origins, the tradition, and the dedication to the craft. 

Back in 2014, Bob Costarella moved to Austin to learn the art of craft barbecue as an apprentice under renowned pitmaster Lance Kirkpatrick at Stiles Switch BBQ & Brew. Bob was able to introduce the team to his mentor and showed them his old stomping grounds where the journey truly started.

Additional stops included Leroy and Lewis Barbecue, Louie Mueller Barbecue, Micklethwait Barbecue, Interstellar BBQ, Barley Swine, Briscuits, KG BBQ, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya, Loro Asian Smokehouse, Odd Duck, and more.

EAT. DRINK. CELEBRATE!
