B&D Trap BBQ’s menu is a tribute to the bold, unmasked flavors of Texas Barbecue, showcasing dishes like brisket and smoked turkey by the pound, full racks of ribs, juicy whole chicken, crispy smoked wings, and pulled pork.

At the heart of B&D Trap BBQ are New Yorkers Orelle Young and Kevin Rodriguez. Kevin brings a wealth of management experience from his tenure at restaurants and hotels in bustling cities like Miami, New York, and Dublin. Orelle, a seasoned chef, and pitmaster blends his New York upbringing with over 16 years of culinary expertise, infusing traditional Texas Barbecue with global influences from his work around the U.S., London, Dubai, and more.
Orelle, who serves as the restaurant’s Executive Chef and Pitmaster, has competed on Food Network Canada’s “FireMasters” and showcased his Texas-inspired expertise on Michelin Star Chef Sergio Herman’s Belgian reality TV series “Mijn Pop-Up Restaurant”. His method? Low and slow over post oak, ensuring each cut of meat – from ribs to brisket – is infused with unique smokiness and tender perfection.
“You eat meat for its unique flavor,” said Orelle in a press release. “My rubs amplify the flavor of the meat, instead of cover it.”
