Founded by a UMBC alum, Matt Chanin, Grubbing Hard BBQ is a pandemic-born business that began by nourishing neighbors, friends, and family with freshly smoked wood-fired barbecue and comfort food in the winter of 2020. Grubbing Hard BBQ has since become a full-time business with hundreds of loyal customers and made the 2022 Washington Post’s “Top 10 BBQ Joints in the DMV.”
