A three-time champion of the prestigious American Royal Barbecue Competition, Warth was inducted into the Barbecue Hall of Fame in Kansas City in 2023. Warth is not only a successful pitmaster, but he also owns and operates multiple restaurants in Iowa. His restaurant, Smokey D's BBQ was featured on The Food Network's popular show, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
"I'm thrilled to partner with Smithfield Smoke'NFast and show foodservice operators how to simply integrate winning barbecue on their menus, making them feel like true pitmasters regardless of their experience or equipment," said Warth.
