The Barbecue Spot That's Giving Back
Briefly

BJ's Nevada Barbecue has gained acclaim for its award-winning barbecue, especially its ribs, while fostering community ties through support of culinary education. Owner Jay Rathmann, along with his family, has maintained this Northern Nevada establishment for nearly 40 years. Their initiative includes a mobile kitchen at Reno's Food Truck Friday, where culinary students gain hands-on experience under mentorship. Sales from the event benefit local schools and community programs, reiterating their commitment to both quality food and community welfare.
Rathmann emphasized the importance of providing real-time kitchen experience for culinary students, stating, 'We initially bought the mobile kitchen for the Reno Rodeo cattle drive...why don’t we use it as a fundraiser.'
BJ's not only serves award-winning barbecue but also fuels the community by supporting culinary education initiatives, showcasing their commitment to making a positive impact.
