Smokehouse '36 | Application Preview
Smokehouse '36 is seeking government grants to fund the purchase of a concession trailer, necessary equipment, and required licenses and permits. The business aims to start as a pop-up in local areas impacted by recent hurricanes and the pandemic, with plans to expand into catering and special events.
The founders share a deep passion for quality food and community service, having connected through their work in the aviation sector. They are eager to offer authentic Texas-style BBQ to the Louisiana market, where they believe there is a significant gap in quality options.
Given that the partner has struggled to find good Texas BBQ since relocating to Louisiana in 2005, they believe their unique offerings will fill this void. Their competitive edge lies in their commitment to authenticity and simplicity while providing exceptional food and service to the local community.

Business Plan
The initial business plan is to start small as pop up in local areas affected by recent hurricanes and pandemic and then broaden to catering and special events. My partner and I both have a passion for good food and serving others. We met by chance in the aviation industry and realized that we both shared the same long term goal and are now at a point in our lives and careers that we want to take the next step to bring good Texas style BBQ to the Louisiana area and grow from there.

Self Identified Competition
Since moving to Louisiana in 2005 my partner has not been able to find good Texas style BBQ so to list competitors, honestly there aren't any in the area. We've done private orders for friends and co-workers that have said "hands down" no one can compare in the area. Our passion is to stay authentic and keep the model simple while bringing top quality food and service to our community.
