Kareem El-Ghayesh, the founder and pit master of KG BBQ, moved to Austin, Texas in 2016 after a long career in finance in Egypt, his home country. His only goal was to learn everything about Texas BBQ.

Since then, he obtained a culinary certificate, gained experience by learning to smoke meats from Austin's top pit masters, and now he makes BBQ that is cooked with love, passion, and most importantly, with a tasty Mediterranean twist!
