this Charred corn maple parmesan soup is todays absolutely FABULOUS creation. Tastes like freakin Elote in a soup, but add a little sweetness (I dialed back the maple a bit). Just wow. And after I strained it, it was so smooth and creamy.

It’s hard to put into words what the last 5 years have meant to me. I spent a lot of time in Texas for a job, fell in love with the food and culture there and wanted to bring that back to New York. In the middle of the pandemic, I couldn’t travel, I couldn’t see friends or family, and I felt disconnected, without a community, without direction. .smoke started as a dream and a cure to these feelings and became so much more, thanks to YOU—my incredible customers, friends, and family.
Your support, love for BBQ, and shared memories made this journey unforgettable. As life takes me south, the future of Swaggertown Smoke isn’t clear. But this isn’t “goodbye”—it’s “what’s next”. I’ll keep the website running, the posts coming, sauce and swag selling, and I’ll ALWAYS be free to chat about BBQ and give tips and tricks of the trade so keep following if you please.
In the meantime, if you are a food pop up owner or just do a lot of cooking or catering, I’ve got a lot of stuff that I’m looking to offload. You’re in great hands Upstate New York! There is great BBQ here from and you’ll always find amazing food from and and you can never go wrong with the best things that go with BBQ from and .
Here’s some throwback posts (the first little OKJoe smoker, the first on-site event, the breakthrough BBQ platter) to the past 5 years of smoky goodness and the possibility of what’s to come. Thank you for being part of the community. ❤️

It’s Charlie Brown season!
This was probably the number 1 Thanksgiving meal I’ve ever had. On this plate; Roasted crispy skin duck, .smoke Mac n cheese, potatoes au gratin, homemade cranberry sauce (I couldn’t wait for it to thicken, sue me), and roasted Brussels bacon and balsamic glaze drizzle. Also had a smoked whole turkey (the real ones know how good this is) and candied yams!
Comment below your favorite Thanksgiving dish!

Another one from !
Brussels sprout salad with bacon, pistachio, mint, and a sweet and spicy pepper dressing. As you can see, this was approved by (and of course .a.ware ) which is a huge achievement! Keep following along for the next dish from “Soup, Salad, Sandwiches”

Another recipe from ‘s new recipe book “Soups Salads Sandwiches”.
This salad is a Roasted Farro and Sunchoke salad. I mixed in baby arugula, arugula micros, torn mint and topped with ricotta and Bonne Mamman Cherry preserves. This was a great contrasting dish with sweet and savory, bright and peppery, tender and crunchy components. The farro and sunchoke were actually quite filling - even though I thought this was going to be a small and light appetizer. Delicious dish and so fun and easy to make. I’m pumped that Matty has introduced me to sunchokes as a delicious and versatile ingredient. Stay tuned for more!
