From Rodeo to BBQ

Meet JR Willingham, owner and pitmaster of Chute 4 Rodeo Foods in Waco, Texas. A retired rodeo cowboy and U.S. military veteran, JR traded in the bull rope for a brisket knife — and has been perfecting the craft of authentic Texas barbecue ever since.

At Chute 4 Rodeo Foods, BBQ isn’t just food — it’s a way of life. JR smokes every cut of meat the traditional way, low and slow over oak wood, creating bold flavor and tender perfection you can taste in every bite. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just true Texas BBQ.
