Smoke. Family. California.

More than a meal. A family tradition.

What began with a food truck became hundreds of catered celebrations, a social media BBQ community, competition wins, and now a new family adventure. We are bringing everything we have learned back to the Valley, together.

The next chapter starts with family

Years in the making. Family at the heart.

It all started with Aaronn Hansen and a food truck called The Smokin’ Burrito. That passion for feeding people grew into catering hundreds of weddings, private celebrations, and events of every size across the Central Valley.

When COVID paused the catering scene, the cooking never stopped. Aaronn started The Gringos BBQ on social media, sharing new recipes, meeting incredible people, and finding fresh inspiration around the fire.

That led to competition BBQ with friends, building a championship-winning team on the local Valley circuit. Now Aaronn and his kids are bringing all those experiences, flavors, and creations together as Hansen’s Family BBQ & Catering.

This is our new adventure as a family, and we cannot wait to feed yours.
