The Notorious P.I.G.

Graham Sherman of Tool Shed Brewing Company is no stranger to the world of barbecue. With more than two decades of grilling experience and a gold-medal win at the 2022 World Food Championships, Sherman has established himself as a force to be reckoned with. We had the opportunity to chat with him as he was headed to the prestigious Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, TN – a longtime goal. Selected to represent Canada, along with three other Canadian teams, Sherman’s dream team includes his son and culinary student, Hugh Sherman, seasoned barbecue professionals Darren Clark, Paul McGreevy, Dean Ringstead and Kris Valckx. Team Notorious P.I.G. ended up tying for first place with another Canadian Team for the “Home Cookin’ From the Homeland” award. A coin toss decided the outcome and Sherman’s team happily took second place. Sherman and his team also competed in the American Royal Barbecue Competition in Kansas City, MO. At press time we weren’t aware of the outcome, but recommend following them on social for updates. While this year marks Sherman’s final competitive barbecue season, he plans to continue sharing his passion through teaching private and corporate classes.
