Matt Pittman

Matt grew up cooking with his Grandma June in Alabama, learning the value of simple, great-tasting food. But once the BBQ bug bit, he went all in. Backyard cookouts turned into full-blown competitions. His passion landed him a spot on the hit TV show BBQ Pitmasters, where he realized he could share his signature spice blends with the world. That’s how Meat Church Holy Cow—his first rub—was born. And let’s just say, folks ate it up.


These days, Meat Church is about more than just making killer rubs. It’s about bringing people together to make great memories around good food.  Whether you’re learning from our YouTube videos, joining one of our BBQ classes, or just firing up the pit with our seasonings, we’re here to help you make next-level barbecue.


Welcome to Meat Church. Let’s cook.

Kevin VanDam

If there is a conversation about professional bass fishing going on anywhere these days, you can bet the letters KVD are being spoken. Over the last 25 years, Kevin VanDam’s name has become synonymous with the sport of competitive bass fishing. VanDam’s sheer dominance on the water in the modern era of professional bass fishing is unparalleled. He has set a bar with a rod and reel that few others in history will ever come close to reaching. Though VanDam is well versed in all fishing techniques, it’s his signature power fishing game that has earned him so much success through the years. Since the day he stepped foot in his first full season of Bassmaster Invitationals in 1990 at the age of 22, KVD’s unique fishing style has been heavily steeped in speed, reaction and extreme efficiency. He pioneered an up-tempo, offensive strategy in competitive fishing that forced his quarry to react instinctively to fast moving lures like spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and crankbaits.
