About Us
Brave. Bold. Quintessential. That’s what the Baldwin name is all about.
Founded by Kory and Vanessa Baldwin, Baldwin BBQ’s goal is to bring people together with delicious, memorable food. We value our relationship with the community and strive to show everyone they’re welcome in our hearts and in our home. We prioritize tasteful eats, exceptional experience and building a strong, supportive community.
Our Origins
Kory has dedicated his life to food and hospitality, spending almost the last 3 decades gaining insight and knowledge from around the world. His BBQ dishes are inspired by multiple cultural cuisines, including French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Southeast Asia, India, Nepal, North Africa, West Africa, Europe, Mexico and other areas of North America.
Kory’s passion for cooking started young. He began working in the kitchen at the Strathmore Hotel in 1995, and then at Strathmore Legion Branch #10 the following year. Being back at the Legion with Baldwin BBQ is a reminder of his success, as he made his first burger and steak in the very same kitchen all those years ago.
After leaving the Legion, Kory worked in the hospitality industry in Calgary and then in Food Services at the Strathmore Hospital for over 5 years. He was even one of the first male servers in Strathmore!
Following university, lots of volunteering, and travel, Kory germinated a BBQ business in 2011, catering huge events for upwards of 1500 people. He’s proud to share his creations with his wife, his friends, and his community, and wishes for nothing more than to make people happy with his food!
Our Food
Food is our love language. Our love for good food, cooking and BBQ is matched by our love for good company. We delight in the company of fellow food enthusiasts!
We are passionate about serving flavour packed dishes, perfecting every detail of the cooking process to go above and beyond your expectations. We strive to give you a memorable dining experience.
All of our smoked meats are smoked in our 250-gallon Texas-style offset smoker. We smoke primarily with applewood, but also use cherry, peach, plum, and grape wood. Most of our wood comes from trees in Alberta or British Columbia.
