PART 1

Shawn Walchef, Founder of Cali BBQ Media, Digital Hospitality Podcast Host, Restaurateur, New Dad and Sports Entertainment Fanatic.

As owners/operators of Cali BBQ in San Diego, Shawn Walchef and his wife Rositsa have evolved over the dozen year run of their restaurant to swiftly shift with the times, while always staying true to the community.

They opened Cali BBQ in 2008 at the height of the economic recession with the goal of making a family friendly sports entertainment destination. They’ve created a unique place where you can go and have Sunday brunch and watch NFL Sunday ticket, bring your wife, your kids and your grandparents.

After 12 years of business and even after COVID-19, the mission remains the same for Cali BBQ: help the community they’ve long called home. Now even more growth is on the horizon as Cali BBQ plans to expand outside of their first location in Spring Valley.

Giving back to their community is a huge part of the mission of Cali BBQ.

Donating time, money and equipment to youth sports programs and young athletes in need, Cali BBQ is a family fun sports bar built off BBQ and community.
