As It Turns Out, Pigs Can Fly!
Brian & Kendra Choy met in 2006 while working in the restaurant world, got married in 2008, and quickly realized two things: they were in love... and they were really tired of helping other people get rich.
With more than 20 years of combined restaurant experience (and enough stories to write a book that probably shouldn't be published), they've worked just about every position imaginable—from bussing tables and washing dishes to running kitchens and managing entire restaurants.
Eventually, they decided it was time to take a leap of faith and build something of their own. A place where family comes first, hard work matters, faith guides the way, and nobody has to ask permission to put bacon on everything.
What started as a crazy idea has grown into a family-owned restaurant built on smoke, patience, long days, late nights, and more coffee than any doctor would recommend. Every plate that leaves the kitchen carries a little piece of the dream they started building together all those years ago.
Today, When Pigs Fly BBQ is more than just a restaurant—it's proof that a lot of faith, a little stubbornness, and a smoker running at 3 a.m. can turn a dream into reality.
And yes... after all these years, they make some pretty incredible BBQ too.
With God, all things are possible... even flying pigs.
When the opportunity came along in 2009 to open a restaurant of their own, Brian and Kendra didn't have to think twice. BBQ had always been where their hearts were. So they did what any reasonable people would do—they quit their jobs, stopped "working for the man," and jumped headfirst into the terrifying, exciting, slightly crazy adventure of owning a restaurant.
Of course, not everyone thought it was a great idea.
There were plenty of doubters along the way. In fact, one person told them they'd never make it through their first year unless "pigs fly."
Challenge accepted.
That comment stuck, the name took root, and When Pigs Fly BBQ was born.
In October of 2010, the doors officially opened, the smokers fired up, and the dream became reality. What started as a leap of faith has grown into a family-owned restaurant built on great BBQ, loyal customers, hard work, and a whole lot of God's blessings.
Over a decade later, we're still here proving that sometimes pigs really do fly.
From day one, Brian and Kendra wanted to build more than a BBQ joint—they wanted to build a family.
Around here, our team isn't just a staff; they're the people who help make the magic happen every day (and occasionally help keep Brian and Kendra from losing their minds). We've shared countless laughs, survived catering chaos, celebrated milestones, cheered at Royals games, enjoyed movie nights, and eaten way more BBQ together than any doctor would recommend.
We believe that when people work hard, they deserve to be appreciated. That's why taking care of our team has always been just as important as taking care of our customers.
Because great BBQ starts with great people—and we're lucky to have some of the best

Serving our community has always been one of the biggest reasons we do what we do. From the very beginning, Wichita has supported our family, and we believe it's important to give that support right back.
Our faith is at the heart of how we run our business. Kindness, generosity, service, and treating people the way we'd want to be treated aren't just things we talk about—they're values we try to live out every day.
Over the years, we've been blessed to partner with our amazing customers to provide school supplies for local students, collect food for area pantries, donate holiday meals to second-chance homes, support families in need, and so much more.
At the end of the day, we hope When Pigs Fly BBQ is known for more than just great BBQ. We hope it's known as a place that loves God, loves people, and does its best to make our little corner of Wichita a better place.
And none of it would be possible without the incredible support of our customers
