About Us – Jon Jon's BBQ

The Founder’s Story

Meet John E. Erwin: The Man Behind the Smoke

Born and raised in Georgia, John E. Erwin grew up surrounded by the rich traditions of Southern BBQ. From family gatherings to community events, John’s love for slow-smoked meats began in his backyard. He brought his passion to San Jose, CA, blending time-honored recipes with a dedication to serving the community.

At Jon Jon’s BBQ, we believe in more than just good food — we believe in creating unforgettable experiences. With roots in Georgia and a passion for authentic Southern-style BBQ, we bring you flavors that are bold, smoky, and steeped in tradition.
