Hey, Chef Jeff here. Owner of Smokin J’s Paninis and Catering. Good food & Good music have been two of my biggest passions in life. With those passions and a lot of hard work, I became both a musician and a chef. And I intend to use both to build my savory, mouth watering Smoking J’s brand. The Smoking Js name is a tribute to my late brother, Joe Snell Jr., a.k.a., “Smokey Joe” Smokey Joe was a Marine Corp. Master Gunnery Sergeant and a country music performer. Joe ran with some top country music industry insiders of the time and played stages from Nashville to Okinawa My brother meant the world to me, and naming Smokin J’s Paninis and Catering in his honor means I am committed to nothing but the highest quality cuisine for you. Smokin J’s offers you good old fashioned home cooking with a Cajon twist featuring delicious smoked meat dishes prepared with my own personal recipe in the kitchen at The Dusty Saddle Saloon in Mathis, TX. And working with Dusty Saddle owners, Daniel and Miss Bri, I will help them promote local musicians and live music performance and carry on the music tradition that my brother was so passionate about. Smokin J’s will also offer catering services for weddings and events, as well as private parties. Stay tuned for more details and even bigger things to come as we grow. I am truly excited to begin this journey with you all, as I open a new chapter in my life. I want to extend a gracious thank-You to all our friends who are supporting us as we go through this important startup period. I expect to be be open regularly Wednesday through Sunday by the end of January 2025. Thank-You again, Chef Jeff Owner, Smoking J’s Paninis & Catering Company, LLC.
