History of Holy Trinity Barbecue
A talented chef named Kyle Rensmeyer opened Holy Trinity Barbecue in 2019. He was known as a "pitmaster." A pitmaster is someone who is an expert at cooking barbecue, especially using a smoker or a pit.
Opening and Expansion
When it first opened, Holy Trinity Barbecue was only open on weekends. People loved the food so much that the business grew! In August 2019, they started opening on Thursdays and Fridays too. This meant more days for people to enjoy their delicious barbecue.
Challenges and Closing
Running a food cart can have its challenges. In July 2021, there was a very hot weather period. Kyle Rensmeyer had to close the food cart for two days because of the heat. This caused the business to lose money.
In October 2021, Kyle Rensmeyer announced that Holy Trinity Barbecue would close for good. Its last day of business was October 23, 2021.
