Boy, do we still miss serving yall platters like this!!

We received a lot of support after our last post and I would like to say thank you to every single person that reached out. All the comments, messages, texts, calls, and everything in between. There’s still so much more left to do! The devil may scrap but the lord has won 🙏

We aren’t done yet and we are exploring multiple avenues to get back on our feet!

Until then, please consider us for caterings, collabs, and mini-pops.

We promise to keep y’all updated with anything that gets booked because we are missing seeing you all!

I truly thank you all,

Sebastien

A BBQ Fiends Update. This is why you havent heard from us in awhile…

I have struggled for awhile now about if I should make this post. I am a fairly private person when it comes to the behind scenes events that take place in my life. I have decided to do this because a man’s mental health is important, and it may end up helping someone out there going through a tough time.

In 2025 I experienced the biggest high, and the biggest low of my entire life. BBQ Friends started off the year by just being named one of the best bites of 2024 by Texas Monthly Magazine. It was the winter season ,and we still managed to have ridiculously long lines and doing more business than we ever thought possible out of a food truck. We worked our way up to five full time employees and we were all determined to put out some of the best food in Texas. We felt like we were on top of the world and this feeling carried over all the way till Texas Monthly released “The List” in May. “The List”only comes out every four years and is perceived as one of the highest honors in the BBQ industry. We were blessed enough to make Top 100 BBQ Joints in the state on “The List”. We felt beyond honored and extremely excited for our future. Unfortunately, what followed was a string of unfortunate events.

Soon after “The List” came out we decided we had to leave our permanent location due to visions not aligning with the people that leased the property. (They also decided to cut the power to our truck because they felt we sold out too early one day, but that’s another story.) Losing this huge source of income was devastating for my family, for my team, as well as for me. We tried doing pop-ups but the reality was that it was hard for people to keep up with us bouncing around every weekend and it was terribly physically taxing on us. Now for the icing on the cake that has landed me in the worst position I’ve ever been in my entire life.

My ex-wife and I decided to divorce. She accused me of things that did not happen and fabricated stories while she was the only one of us under the influence. I was kept away from our kids for 40+ days. Things got extremely weird and messy. My lawyers got involved and my ex and her family quickly changed their story when they saw a glimpse of what my case was against them. My ex and her parents immediately pretended to be friendly and handed our kids back over to me within a day. Now here is what bothers me the most. There was a moment where it felt like me and my ex were going to fix things but then she started accusing me of totally baseless accusations about me cheating on her. Turns out she was fed these lies by the folks that we were in business with at Rockabilly Brewing. I never realized these people would be vindictive like this. But here we are. The person I was with for eleven years had decided to believe these lies. Now when the kids are with her she does not let them speak to me. She withholds all contact of them to me and she rarely responds to my messages because she’s Influenced by social media and thinks I’m a narcissist because of videos she has seen on the internet (Tik-Tok and Instagram.)

I’m writing this for all the men or people out there that have been railroaded. That have lost everything. That try to wake up everyday with just a glimmer of hope still left in your life. You are not alone. My family and best friends have been there for me and stood up to this evil during these dark times in my life. Some of yall will screenshot this and show my ex and her parents but just know I’m walking with a heart of a lion. My ex can show her lawyers but I’m willing to get into a dogfight with her and her shady family to show the truth about who her and her family really are. I’m not done, BBQ Friends is not done, and there is still much more left for me in this world.

This may seem messy, but just know you are not alone in this world fellas! Stand up for what is right and fight against the people that have no problem trying to kill you and ruin your life. I’ve decided to stop laying down and taking it. Now I’m fighting and this is far from over.

Thank you to my kids, my family, and my friends. Y’all saved my life. I promise to not take it for granted.

This isn’t over till I say it is.
