Owners Doug and Stephanie Pollard have accumulated over 50 years of experience within the Hospitality industry. Stephanie, who previously led numerous restaurants as a General Manager in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Houston Texas, and throughout New England. Executive Chef Doug Pollard, received his training as part of the very first graduating class of the Johnson & Wales Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts in 1995. Here he met his wife Stephanie, a fellow graduate whose family has a tradition of creating numerous restaurant concepts in Houston, Texas. Doug used his culinary expertise to lead kitchens in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Houston, Texas, Italy, and New England. He has worked with independent and national restaurants, hotels and Top Fortune 100 companies. Many notable people have enjoyed Chef Pollard's fine dining cuisine, including Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Muhammad Ali, Metallica, Donald Sutherland, and Cher. World leaders Xi Jinping, President of China, Mohammad bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and both President George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush have sat at his table, in addition to countless world-class athletes. In 2010, he brought his family and exceptional culinary experience back to his hometown of Medfield, Massachusetts.
During their time in Texas together, Doug learned the art of creating true Texas Barbeque from his father-in-law, legendary restaurateur Frankie Mandola, who learned the time-honored tradition from his father. During extensive travels throughout the south, Doug recognized the tradition of "roadside BBQ" stands offering their own family's recipe for real BBQ. Returning to the northeast, he saw a need and opportunity to share his culinary experience as a 3rd generation pitmaster, and Pollard's Texas Que was born. Since then, Doug, Stephanie, and their two daughters, Zoey and Mikayla, have been providing their award-winning BBQ to street festivals around Boston and Cape Cod. Pollard's Texas Que proudly uses only locally sourced quality meats from farms throughout New England. Guests would enjoy their Que in the beautiful and scenic open space location along the roadside across the street from the Historical Medfield State Hospital. We look forward to serving you our delicious, authentic Que and Texas hospitality. Bring your smiles and your appetite! #FromHoustonToBoston
