In this episode, we sit down with Scott Holmes, founder of Little Miss BBQ, at the original University Drive location in Phoenix to talk about his journey from backyard barbecue enthusiast to building one of Arizona’s most celebrated barbecue restaurants.
Scott shares how a trip to Texas reignited his passion for cooking, how he and his wife Becky became obsessed with perfecting their barbecue through competitions, and how a rundown 800-square-foot building in an industrial part of Phoenix became the original Little Miss BBQ. We also get into the brisket, ribs, and other smoked meats that have earned the restaurant its reputation, along with the challenges of maintaining quality as the business grows.
Beyond the barbecue, Scott opens up about his approach to hospitality, building a strong team culture, and creating a place where people from all walks of life feel welcome. It’s a conversation about passion, persistence, community, and why treating people well is just as important as the food on their plate.
