BEFORE THE SMOKE, THERE WAS TASH.
Before the smoke, there was Tash.
He grew up in Georgia, built his career in the world of Wall Street, and followed the smoke trail from Tennessee to Florida - collecting lessons in leadership by day and flavor by firelight at night. Somewhere between spreadsheets and slow cooks, he found that purpose and passion can taste a lot alike.
Decades later, that same spark fuels Lard Almighty - a dry rub born from balance, belief, and a lifetime of good eating. Because when faith meets flavor, miracles happen -especially over hot coals
THE LOGO: WHEN WALL STREET MET THE BBQ PIT
A Wall Street career demands discipline, but BBQ demands salvation. Our logo is the bridge. It's an intentional riff on Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged—where instead of Atlas holding up the world, it's Tash holding up the divine pig. It's the truth: The pressure of high finance taught us the discipline needed to master the sweet, savory, and smoky balance that carries the weight of your entire weekend cookout. Flavor, redefined by capitalism and smoke.
DECADES OF SINS, ONE SACRED REVELATION.
Decades later, after countless weekends of tinkering, smoking, and perfecting, came one sacred revelation: Tash's Lard Almighty — a rub so balanced it could make a saint swear and a brisket sing.
This isn't seasoning. It's salvation through smoke.
