Our Story


The Smok’d Hog is currently a well-decorated, and well-loved, trailered BBQ pit catering company, and restaurant founded in San Diego, California, and proudly rounding out it’s fourth year of business. The restaurant has just recently re-opened in a brand new location at The Cookhouse Foodhall at Vail Headquarter’s in Temecula.

Owner Chris McAfee started from the original namesake, ‘The Whole Hog’, from humble beginnings when he purchased a custom made BBQ/Smoke pit from “JJ’s Custom Pits” out of Houston, Texas. Chris and his crew worked hard on perfecting their craft in SD, and gained several awards and accolades to show for it along the way. After four great years, and with very heavy hearts, Chris and the crew decided that it was time to find a new home where the business could grow. Although SD was their home, an amazing opportunity in Temecula presented itself, so they decided to take on a new venue, where they could add, and have the space to roll out new facets of operation including breakfast, brunch options on weekends, and a compatible beer & cocktail program to pair with their kitchen in the form of their “little sister” bar, The Daisy.
