Outlaw Barbecue At Its Finest

Texas-Style Barbecue in Ridgefield CT

When we opened our doors in 2015 we didn’t know what to expect. After all, Connecticut isn’t exactly recognized for its barbecue scene. We created a barbecue style that we like to call Outlaw Barbecue. Inspiration from areas like Texas fused with our own style has created Barbecue like no other.

Our Story

Hoodoo Brown was the baddest Cowboy of them all

A bank robber, cattle herder, Justice of the Peace, moonshiner, and cook, Hoodoo Brown epitomized life in the Wild West. We celebrate Hoodoo Brown's spirit and authenticity by cooking the best Texas Outlaw barbecue on the planet...or at least right here in Ridgefield.

Owner Cody Sperry was inspired several years ago on a "guys’ trip" to Austin, Texas. There they traveled to over a dozen barbecue joints, with owners generously sharing their stories, secrets, and passion for creating true Texas barbecue. He returned to Ridgefield with a new outlook and desire to replicate what he experienced in Texas.

He started his apprenticeship on a Big Green Egg smoker and eventually opened a barbecue catering business. Through the encouragement of his customers, friends, and family, he decided to open Hoodoo Brown BBQ.

This brings us to today, Hoodoo Brown Barbeque opened on May 22nd, 2015 and we are happy to bring our style of outlaw barbecue to the Northeast. Hoo's Hungry?
