About the Speaker
Jack Timmons grew up in Texas and has lived in Seattle for over three decades. In 2012, he attended BBQ Summer Camp at the Meat Sciences department of Texas A&M, then toured many historic barbeque temples of central Texas. Returning to Seattle, he bought an offset smoker, imported some post oak, mesquite and hickory, and started the Seattle Brisket Experience.
After more than a year of practicing the art of barbeque and serving old-school, succulent smoked meats to thousands of Northwest BBQ fans at "BBQ Raves", Jack opened his first restaurant in the SODO (South of Downtown) area of Seattle - Jack's BBQ.
