The grills are fired up at Red Desert BBQ as it celebrates its first year as a brick and mortar restaurant from 10:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 3.
Owner and pitmaster of Red Desert BBQ, David Martin, has at least 20 years of barbecue experience — which began as a backyard hobby. Eating at the now-closed Bobby Dean’s Hickory BBQ food truck inspired him to open his own food truck in 2015.
The restaurant, located on Prince Road, is having food specials throughout the day, drawings for several prizes, gifts every hour, and a grand prize — an Instant Pot — for one lucky winner at the end of the day.

If you’re not there at the end of the day to see if you’ve won, no worries. Red Desert will be live streaming the grand prize drawing on their Facebook page.
Plus, what’s a party without a cake? Make sure to grab a piece of it before you fill up on the barbecue — grilled over both hickory and charcoal.
Red Desert BBQ & Catering is located at 918 W. Prince Rd. For more information on the one-year anniversary celebration, head to Red Desert’s Facebook event page.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
