THE LES RHODES STORY...

In 2010, alongside his wife and four sons, Les, the future Oxtail King, found a new beginning in the beautiful state of Utah after a hurricane hit home, a world away from his Texas roots. It was in Texas where his love for BBQ was kindled, riding down dusty roads with his grandpa, each waft of smoke from roadside pit masters enriching his soul with the art of true BBQ.

Utah presented new challenges, but Les's resilience and resourcefulness shone through. Working in the oil fields by day, his true passion lay in the smoky flavors of his heritage. It was during his sons' football games, as he smoked meats for his family, that an unexpected twist occurred. The tantalizing aromas attracted the curiosity of fellow spectators, sparking inquiries about purchasing his delicious fare. Recognizing the opportunity, Les began selling his BBQ at every game, quickly selling out and laying the foundation for his burgeoning business.

Les not only brought the taste of Texas to Utah but revolutionized the perception of oxtails. Through his culinary craftsmanship, what was once an overlooked cut transformed into a luxury delight under his touch. His viral success on social media, amassing tens of millions of views, has not only crowned him the Oxtail King but has also redefined how people view this unique dish.

Les's journey is a story of passion, heritage, and transformation — from the smoky trails of Texas with his grandpa to the roaring success of his BBQ empire. It's a testament to his unwavering dedication and love for BBQ, forever changing the culinary landscape and how we savor the rich, luxurious taste of oxtails.
