About Us

Spady's Smokehouse BBQ Catering was founded by Todd and Kelly Spadafore in 2004. Everybody knows me (Todd) as "Spaddy" ... My parents, restaurateurs themselves, say they raised me in an empty cup box in the back room of their restaurant. You could say that I have the foodservice business in my blood. It was 30 years ago at the age of 15, with my work permit in hand, I started my lifelong career as a hospitality professional.

Fast forward...after a General Manager position in well known Silicon Valley restaurant, Kelly and I knew we wanted to move back to the Pacific Northwest... While we were waiting for the right time to move, I decided to take a job at a very successful BBQ joint in the area... I always loved great BBQ and I wanted to learn more... as my knowledge of real barbecue grew, so did my passion for authentic Barbeque.

The time was right for the move, and Poulsbo was the town... The Metropolitan Gill invited me back... I began my search for Killer BBQ... Found some pretty good Q and lots of "it'll do BBQ". But nothing that made my socks curl.

Our first smoker came out of Watkinsville Georgia… it had a license plate and everything!
I experimented for about a year with my own rubs and sauces… We started selling our BBQ at markets and we did several small catering events…. We outgrew that smoker our first year in 2005.

We honed our skill over the next few years while we rented kitchen space at Farm Kitchen… A very special place here on Kitsap Peninsula…. A very special place indeed…
Anne & Hollis were the official tasters and gave us gentle, and sometimes not so gentle, guidance…

Most of our recipes have evolved over the past few years and some are simply a good memory for Rafir the farm dog and official greeter of Farm Kitchen.

This year we have developed a basic kitchen of our own at our current location … 22273A Stottlemeyer Rd in Poulsbo…
Look for the pink pig on the door…..

We cater year round with our main season that runs from early Spring through Mid-Fall. We focus on Coorperate event, Family Gatherings, Milestone Events, Rehearsal Dinners and Wedding Celebrations.

Spady’s has gained the reputation for our “up-scale” events, service that is second to none, and most importantly, Really Great Food.
Thats the Spady’s BBQ Story in a nutshell. We are hospitality professionals that have a true passion for people, celebrations, and Killer BBQ.
We can think of no other food, that can better bring groups of people together, like Authentic Barbeque.
