Built To Grow

The Name
The Smokey Sasquatch name comes from Connor’s father.
Connor, who was born and raised in Utah had a father who taught him how to cook when he was eight years old. He was born and raised in the South, and that Southern cooking influence became part of Connor’s foundation.
The name Smokey Sasquatch is personal. Connor’s father has always reminded him and others of a Sasquatch, and they would watch Bigfoot shows together while Connor was growing up.
What could have just been a funny nickname became part of the brand’s identity. It connects the food, the smoke, the outdoors feeling, and the family story behind it.
