Master of Que

"All of the beef in house is American Wagyu. All pork is Heritage Breed and our produce is Hyper Local and Seasonal. This is good cooking."
Signature of Erica BarrettErica Barrett

Erica Barrett proved herself on Food Network's BBQ Brawl, cooking her way through the Season 5 bracket to take the crown and the title Master of Que — the kind of win that comes from tending fire and treating ingredients with respect longer than anyone else is willing to.

Award-winning Pitmaster Chef Erica Barrett built her craft from her Mobile roots — learning that great barbecue comes down to wood, fire, and time.

With SOQUE, she brings that tradition home to Fairhope, pairing regional BBQ technique, culinary precision and pure creativity with the flavors of the Gulf Coast: Baldwin County pecans, Gulf shrimp, and Southern hospitality.

Every brisket is trimmed by hand. Every fire is tended through the night. Come taste the difference.
