Our Story

Tom Karren in a white chef coat setting down a board of sliced bacon

20 years of hand-crafted BBQ

I've been obsessed with hand-crafted BBQ for 20 years, cooking for family and catering the whole time. Developing these recipes has become a huge part of who I am.

TK's Fine Meats is that passion, made in small batches and hand crafted from the finest ingredients. I can't wait to share it with you.

Ideas

How to cook it, how to build a board, and a few easy recipes.

How to cook it

  • Bratwurst (fresh, uncooked)

    Simmer in water or beer until cooked through to 160°F inside, then grill or sear to brown.

  • Kielbasa, Hot Links & Italian

    Grill, pan-sear or warm on the smoker. When reheating, warm through to 165°F inside.

  • Black Market Bacon

    Oven at 400°F on a rack over a sheet pan, or in cast iron. It's leaner than belly bacon, so watch it near the end.

  • Back Bacon

    Pan-sear a couple of minutes per side. Great on breakfast sandwiches.

  • Formed Ham

    Slice thin for sandwiches, or warm gently in a covered pan with a splash of water.

  • Summer Sausage & Pepperoni

    Slice and serve. Pepperoni is made for pizza; snack sticks are made for the road.
