Dating back to the mid-19th Century, Santa Maria-style BBQ is perhaps the key ingredient to California’s culinary heritage. A tradition born in the Santa Maria Valley on the central coast, Santa Maria Style BBQ is based around a prime sirloin cut of beef, seasoned with black pepper and garlic before being flame-grilled over seasoned red oak wood, imparting a rich and scrumptious flavor.
Our top chef, Leon, is a Santa Maria native and culinary expert who knows everything there is to know about the traditions of the Santa Maria Barbecue. Leon, an Elk member for over 26 years, learned his craft through his involvement with the BBQ events at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge throughout the past 17 years. His vast experience in this type of cuisine is certainly evident when sampling the tasty, mouth-watering dishes he produces.
