Missouri Barbecue Supply
Columbia BBQ lovers rejoice. Launched in mid-2024, Missouri Barbecue Supply has become a haven for barbecue lovers. Although barbecue is not new to Columbia, a barbecue supply store is. Missouri Barbecue Supply offers a one-stop shop for any sauces and rubs that are local to Missouri. You can find all of your grilling supplies and hardware as well.
“Columbia feels like the heart of barbecue culture,” owner Casey Clark said. Situated in the middle of many popular barbecue cities, Columbia offers a variety of unique barbecue flavors, he said, adding. “We are nestled between the great barbecue traditions of America, and I hope to bring those traditions to your home.”
If you’re just needing some tips and tricks to up your grilling game, Clark is happy to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with his customers.
“Though I may be a novice to competition barbecue and may not have the depth of experience of many of my customers, I do have the desire for them to all succeed,” Clark said. “I love to hear stories of successful competition cooks, of sublime briskets served at dinners, and perfect chicken shared with family and friends.”
Before opening Missouri Barbecue Supply, Clark was surprised by the amount of barbecue champions that live in mid-Missouri.
“Past, present, and future champions all call mid-Missouri and Columbia home,” Clark said. “And the wonderful thing is that any backyard enthusiast can barbecue as well as any champion.”

Eversweet Bakery
If you need a reason to break a New Year’s resolution, Eversweet Bakery has plenty of sweet treats to sway your decision. Opened in October 2023, the bakery runs under Missouri’s Cottage Law, which allows individuals to sell certain food items out of their homes.
“I hope to open a brick-and-mortar bakery someday in the future,” owner Abby Bullock said.
Eversweet Bakery is known for using high-quality ingredients in its products. There are no nuts or gluten, and the bakery is even phasing out the use of dyes in its products. Many of the recipes are passed down from Bullock’s great-grandma and aunt. If you’re unsure which cookie to try first, give some of her most popular flavors a try: gooey butter, caramel brownie, strawberry crunch, and birthday cake.
After opening in 2023, Bullock has found joy sharing some sweet treats with those around her.
“I opened it because I love baking for my friends and family and seeing the enjoyment on their faces as they eat what I’ve made for them,” Bullock explained.
If you plan to have a sweet tooth in the next forty-eight hours, you might consider placing an order for some Gooey Butter cookies. Bullock also hopes to make it to the Columbia Farmers Market this summer.
