Life-long hobby becomes career as chef
gets ‘All Smoked Up'

After many years of working in the property management business, Rob VanVoorhis decided it was time for a career change. At 45, Rob went back to college to turn a life-long hobby into a very busy career. After two years of study, he received his associate's degree from the Culinary Institute of America.

After graduating in May 2005, VanVoorhis started his BBQ business. He specializes in onsite catering of southern style pit smoked BBQ. He creates dishes like pulled pork, smoked spare ribs, BBQ chicken, BBQ brisket, and smoked bleu mac & cheese. This dish is made with a blend of cheeses, with bleu cheese as the front-runner.

VanVoorhis will bring the smoker and all of his gear right to your home and create a bevy of BBQ and other side dishes. All food is prepped and cooked as you and your guests enjoy the show. VanVoorhis has catered to the staff of the hit television show American Choppers, Orange County Choppers of Montgomery, N.Y.

All Smoked Up, the name of VanVoorhis' business, has catered weddings, rehearsal dinners, graduations, birthdays, baptisms, as well as other private events. “Our largest job to date has been for 120 guests, and we have a 300 guest event scheduled for July 4th weekend.”

Pig roasts are becoming one of his most requested events. Rob will slow roast a whole hog and serve it up with several side dishes. He likes to get his clients involved. “I love the personal nature of family BBQ and seeing folks come back for seconds!”

The most important thing is that VanVoorhis does all of the work. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy your family and friends, while being completely catered to. VanVoorhis also works as a private chef for a family in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. This is another service he provides for anyone who just can't find the time to cook.

For a set fee, he will do all of the grocery shopping. Afterward, he will use your kitchen and prepare meals which can be either refrigerated or frozen and re-heated at a later date. There is much more information related to his private chef work and his BBQ catering available at www.allsmokedup.com .
