The origin story of Meat Rushmore could be that of many competition barbecue teams — a group of friends bonding over a beloved hobby. In this case, spouses Joel and Katie Fleetwood, along with longtime friends Eric Alfrey and Josh Wunner make up Meat Rushmore, the rare team that has stuck together as the number of competitions, and the stakes, have ramped up. This has led to opportunities such as being featured on the series premier of BBQ USA with Michael Symon, cooking in Tampa at a Super Bowl watch party for Chiefs fans, and at the FIFA Fanfest during the 2026 World Cup in Kansas City. Starting in 2012, they have been honing their skills on the BBQ circuit, and in 2024 won the Made for KC BBQ Championship, winning a contract for a restaurant at the Kansas City Airport for 18 months, which opened in September of 2025. This led to the release of their rub and sauce line, which is winning awards both in rub and sauce competitions, as well as on the KCBS trail with many teams using their products to please both the judges and their friends and family. BBQ just isn't a hobby for Joel. It's his passion. He spent 3 years on the Board of Directors for KCBS, including 1 year as it's President. He believes that if you love something enough, you will do everything you can to promote it and make it better than you left it, and that's what he wants to do with BBQ. Banker by day, BBQ guy by night, he's always figuring out ways to help, whether it's small business clients, his own small business, or the BBQ community as a whole, Joel is always looking to promote, teach, and help take people to new levels.
