A BBQ Family
Some families pass down recipes.
The Spiveys passed down fire.
It started with Henry Spivey -- Army cook, butcher, and farmer -- who came home from World War II with a deep respect for good food and the patience to make it right. He raised two sons, Curtis and Richard, in the meat market. They learned the trade the way you only can by growing up in it.
In 1974, Curtis started hosting an annual backyard BBQ for friends and family. Many years later, he built a trailer smoker by hand -- the same one that would eventually smoke the very first batch of Spivey-Q crackers.
Jeremy Spivey grew up around the BBQ pit. As a kid, he tended the late-night hickory wood bonfires that produced the coals for pit-smoking hams and shoulders at those legendary family gatherings. Those long nights at the open pit didn't just teach him BBQ -- they taught him patience, craft, and what it means to take real pride in what you put on the table.
Today, Jeremy runs Spivey-Q out of DFW, still using that same trailer smoker, still following the same principles his family built over three generations. The rubs are handcrafted. The flavors are earned. And every product that leaves the booth carries a little bit of everything that came before it.
