Pitmaster Vinny Barber is the founder and driving force behind Jimmy Bear’s BBQ. His journey began with a food truck and a passion for serving bold, memorable barbecue that brings people together. As the business grew, Vinny expanded Jimmy Bear’s BBQ into a brick-and-mortar restaurant before ultimately returning to the company’s roots—food-truck service, catering, festivals, and special events. Known for his hands-on approach and commitment to great food and friendly hospitality, Vinny combines traditional slow-smoked barbecue with creative menu items that keep guests coming back. His signature offerings include glazed Pork Belly Popsicles, St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, brisket, smoked mac and cheese, loaded tots, and the popular BBQ Sundae. Whether serving an intimate celebration or a large event with hundreds of guests, Pitmaster Vinny’s mission remains simple: serve generous portions of unforgettable barbecue and treat every customer like family.
