Russell Savage, a Palo Alto native, learned barbecue in Texas, returning to the Bay Area to start Pico's BBQ. He offers a weekly food truck service in Menlo Park, drawing crowds with a focused menu of brisket, ribs, sausage, and sides. With a growing social media presence, his first cookout attracted significant interest, leading to long lines. Savage's culinary journey reflects his passion for barbecue, where he finds joy in transforming simple ingredients through time and care. He's also introducing family pack platters, targeting groups enjoying his barbecue.
"After growing up in Palo Alto and attending culinary school and working in professional kitchens, I found myself burnt out and tired of cooking. But I was still drawn to barbecue..."
"Each week, the service starts at noon and continues until he sells out. Customers start to line up well before noon, excited to get their hands on the barbecue."
