Adam McKenzie

Seventh-generation Colorado native Adam McKenzie created ThisJewCanQue to share his love for and skill at grilling, smoking and BBQing. With an intentional sense of irony (Adam is Jewish), his love of pork, beef and all things outdoor cooking has evolved into a robust platform on which fellow BBQ aficionados have congregated. Adam started @ThisJewCanQue in late March 2017, and has seen a steady and significant growth in followers, with over 167,000 by July 2019. Posting content almost exclusively created through his home cooking, Adam cooks primarily on Traeger grills. He’s become known in his circle of influence for his Saturday morning meat slicing videos, some of which have garnered more than 1 million views. Not one to shy away from challenges, Adam is always looking to expand his repertoire and try new things. He cooks from his suburban Denver home that he shares with his wife Isabel and their two goldendoodles Halley and Maggie. As an elementary school STEM teacher, Adam loves the change of pace and focus that grilling provides in his time away from the classroom. In mid-August, Adam will be launching a line of custom BBQ seasonings.
