Building Community One Meal at a Time


Richard and Lauren have a gift for creating spaces where diverse communities come together to share not just meals, but meaningful connections. Their passion for authentic barbecue and from-scratch, locally sourced cuisine is at the heart of their mission: to provide opportunities for people to gather around the table with loved ones, savoring food made with heart and soul, all while experiencing warm and genuine hospitality.

A standout in their culinary offerings is Richard’s Too Good Seattle Barbecue Sauce—a flavorful, all-natural product that has become a local favorite throughout Washington State. This gluten-free, low-sodium sauce is a testament to the commitment to crafting wholesome and delicious food, and it perfectly complements their from-scratch approach to barbecue. Available at select retailers across the state, the sauce is both a staple in their kitchen and a featured product in homes and restaurants, embodying the spirit of the Pacific Northwest barbecue culture they champion.

Driven by a vision to bring barbecue culture to the region, they are dedicated to serving their community with purpose and passion. They believe in the power of food to unite, offering unique dishes and priceless experiences that foster connection. Beyond the plate, their business serves as a platform to uplift the community, support the local economy, and contribute to environmental stewardship.

At their table, there’s always room for one more—a true reflection of their commitment to inclusivity, community, and shared joy.
