Butch says, "Cook it low, cook it slow. Serve no swine before its time."

The #1 Pitmaster and BBQ Chef in the Country With the Awards to Prove It

Pitmaster Butch Lupinetti knows sauces, rubs and
ribs. He's one of a rare breed of "Rib Gypsies" who criss-cross the country, competing in Rib Cook-Offs. And in Butch's case, usually taking home a trophy. You might have met Butch and seen his impressive barbeque pit. Or you may have seen him on TV.

The nationally and internationally known rib cook offs attract the best ribbers in the country, and even the world. And Butch's Smack Your Lips BBQ & Rib Company very often takes first prize.

Now, even if your town doesn't hold an annual Rib-Off, you can taste some of the best barbeque sauce in the world. Just order some of Butch's award winning sauce, follow Butch's time-honored rib-cooking traditions, and enjoy!
