LA Junta Tribune
In the past four years, Kaden Ramirez has gone from barbecue amateur, to smoke master, and now to young restaurant entrepreneur.
The 20-year-old La Junta native is opening his own food truck, Bubz BBQ, this week with the support of his family and the town’s barbecue lovers.
Kaden began working with his uncle, Ukiah, at the Dickeys Barbecue Pit in La Junta when he was 16 years old.
When Ukiah established his own barbecue joint, Fire & Ice BBQ, in June 2020, Kaden started working under him and “fell in love with the barbecue process.”
There, he honed his skill, mixing one-of-a-kind seasonings, perfecting the restaurant s proprietary sauces and refining his 12-hour smoke process.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a proclamation on Monday declaring this week to be Concurrent Enrollment Week in Colorado.
Concurrent enrollment was launched by the Colorado State Legislature in 2009 to provide more opportunities for more students to increase college-going rates by earning tuition-free, transferable college credit while students are still in high school.
These courses are taught by qualified instructors at local high schools, on the college campus or virtually. This flexibility allows the program to be delivered in the manner that best serves a specific community.
The dual-credit program allows students to simultaneously earn credit toward their high school diploma along with college credit toward an associate degree, or credit toward a career-focused certificate for eligible courses.
