Speaker Bio
Our journey into the world of barbecue was ignited while living in Texas. We are a husband and wife duo, Jarrod and Amanda Taschuk, behind the Brisket Butts BBQ Team. We started our adventure in competitive barbecue in 2021. The beginning of our achievements came in June 2022, when we won our first Grand Champion in Invermere, BC, and also the first team to achieve a perfect score in chicken in Canada. This win propelled us to the prestigious Jack Daniels World BBQ Competition in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where we won fourth place in ribs. In March 2023, our journey led us back to Texas, where we competed against 82 other teams, winning first place in Brisket. We were honored to represent Canada at the KCBS World Invitational BBQ Competition and the American Royal World Series of BBQ Competition in Kansas. Our success continued into the following season in Calgary where we won Reserve Grand Champion at the BBQ on the Bow competition. Then, at the Embers and Ice Competition in Edmonton, we were the second team in Canada to achieve a perfect score in Brisket and won Grand Champion. Most recently, we competed in Texas, securing fourth place overall, and also competed in the Iowa State BBQ Competition, where we finished in fifth place. Hopefully in the near future our brisket will be available for everyone to enjoy.
