Royal Prep, Local Vibes & Online Growth

Countdown to Kansas City — The Royal Awaits

We’re officially in the final stretch before heading out with Cherry Anchor BBQ to the American Royal.

Scouting new products for the shop

Connecting with brands and pitmasters

Maybe attending a party or two… if invited 😎

🎃 Halloween Evening Market — Final Night of the Season

Wednesday 10/31 — 5pm to 8pm
🌙 Roseburg Square Evening Market — final one this year!

Bookish is hosting a Costume Parade at 5pm, and after that many shops (including us!) will be handing out candy to trick-or-treaters.

Bring the kiddos, grab some treats, and enjoy one more spooky evening with your local shops before the season wraps.


🔥 Thank You, Cen Cal Family

Every week is better than the last — because of you.
Whether you swing by the shop, order online, like our posts, or tell a friend… it all matters.

Keep spreading the word.
Keep cooking great BBQ.
And keep being the reason Modesto has the best pitmasters around.

See you this week at Cen Cal Smoke!
