Mark Lambert

Until he moved to Memphis, Tenn., from Oklahoma, Mark Lambert will be the first to tell you he knew nothing about cooking barbecue, but eventually it would change his life. Lambert had learned to enjoy cooking barbecue and wanted to continue. In order to do so, he and his friends had to solicit sponsors and raise funds to continue on their own. While his wife embraced his barbecue-competing adventures, it was an expensive hobby to finance while raising a family. He began selling cookers to fund his love of barbecue competitions. In 2005, his team won the championship in the pork shoulder division in Memphis in May. After a few years of placing and winning and sometimes not winning, Lambert was mixing seasonings at home when he connected with a local co-packer who produced and distributed his seasonings. Lambert and his team compete all over the country. He is most proud of the fact that he has won numerous World Championships in multiple sanctioning bodies including Memphis in May, Memphis BBQ Network, Kansas City BBQ Society, Houston Livestock Rodeo BBQ, American Royal World Series of BBQ, and Steak Cookoff Association. Lambert is a Worldwide Champion Pit Master with technical expertise who develops products that align with the barbecue seeker – both for the competitor and the backyard barbecue cooker. He is always learning to remain relevant and current to be a benefit to the barbecue seeker. “It is important to learn how to deliver food to real people. Most people know how to cook, but not all know how to create an experience,” Lambert.
