Evan LeRoy

Evan LeRoy is the pitmaster and co-owner of LeRoy & Lewis Barbecue, Austin’s Michelin-starred beacon of “new school BBQ.”

Going beyond brisket and ribs, Evan smokes beef cheeks, pulls whole hog, and even serves cauliflower burnt ends, all rooted in a locally-sourced, ethically-raised, zero-waste ethos. Since opening the trailer in 2017, he’s built more than a fan base—he’s created a community, teaching in-person classes at New School BBQ University and sharing behind-the-scenes videos that demystify barbecue worldwide via YouTube and Patreon.
