Lew Kizer explains the origin of SmashMeals in his own words: a pastor and pitmaster who kept getting asked to cook for people who could not eat what everyone else was eating.

He talks about why the kitchen went 100% gluten-free from day one instead of running a shared line, and why the family still works the meat station and the dessert table on prep days.
