Iraq War veteran Patrick Feges (pronounced "FEE-jis") caught the BBQ bug while recovering from injuries sustained in combat, and he perfected his barbecue technique while cooking in some of Houstonâs top restaurants, including Underbelly and Killenâs BBQ. His wife, Erin Smith, is also a classically-trained chef (cooking at acclaimed NYC restaurants including Per Se), and after she took home the win on Food Networkâs âChoppedâ in 2016, the duo decided to use the prize money to open their own Houston BBQ restaurant. Feges BBQ was born in 2018, and it was an immediate smash hit.
Feges BBQ is on its way to national renown, with a second location now open and praise from Texas Monthly, which named it one of the stateâs 50 best BBQ joints. With Erin as executive chef and Patrick as pitmaster, theyâre bringing BBQ to new heights with Prime brisket smoked over post oak for 13 hours, spare ribs brushed with a secret-recipe glaze, smoky pulled pork tossed with a tangy vinegar sauce, and mouthwatering sides like loaded potato mash and spicy Korean braised greens. This is the âcue thatâs taken Houston by storm, and itâs shipping to your door!
