Founded in California

A Partnership Between Friends

Bearfoot BBQ honors the distinguished agricultural landscape of California while establishing a new footprint in a growing market. All of our ingredients are native to California including a unique blend of locally sourced fruits and chilis, which is the foundation for our first to market California Style BBQ sauce.

What is California Style?

What is California BBQ? We craft chef-quality sauces using ingredients originated in California and blending bold, sun-ripened fruits with locally grown chiles and California honey to create a balance of sweet heat and umami depth. Our sauces are designed to elevate everything from grilled meats to roasted vegetables, bringing the essence of the Golden State to every bite.

Josh & Dave

Partners Josh Bauer and Dave Steinberg ave always had a foot in the culinary scene, although taking different paths along the way.

Dave started in the LA and Sacramento Area bar and restaurant scene before jumping into the growing culinary trends in Sacramento. He has since created a sausage company that quickly gained popularity being sold at local sports arenas and restaurants. Josh was born into the restaurant business, with his family owning many restaurants and food trucks throughout his early life. Following in the family trend, he started a restaurant consulting and marketing firm and helped many small family owned restaurants build a marketing presence in their local areas.
