Steeped in rough-hewn western tradition, D&B Supply is a company built to serve the modern northwestern customer, including ranchers, farmers, and suburbanites who feel a sincere connection to the land and an affinity for an outdoor lifestyle.
We serve folks who work the land with tractors and fingers alike, growing acres of onions or a few gorgeous red tomatoes. Some of our best customers have hundreds of head of cattle grazing in wide open places, and others have a single labrador retriever or terrier patrolling a fenced and manicured backyard.
Our company is special because it shares a common set of values with our customers that we believe are especially important here in the Mountain West.
There’s nothing better than the aroma of freshly-baked bread just out of the oven. That’s why people living in Portland, Oregon have been drawn to the corner of NE 11th and Flanders for the past 110 years. It’s still the place to get a whiff of the fresh-from-the oven smell – courtesy of Franz Bakery.

Crooked Pigs chases ‘one bite’ perfection
Matt Hanson had dreams of going to culinary school but they never materialized. Instead he went to law school and became a criminal defense attorney, but his zeal for cooking never subsided.
For years he honed his grill skills in his backyard, spending nearly a decade refining his low and slow technique for smoked meats before he partnered with his wife, Amanda, and his brother David to try his hand at competitive barbecue.
While Matt dreamed of attending culinary school, David actually did and while David’s culinary background is a nice complement to the team, barbecue is its own art form.
The Hansons — competing under the name Crooked Pigs as a wink to Matt’s passion and his profession — “finally got up the gumption” and entered in and won a cooking competition in Nampa three years ago. That win qualified them for the 2014 World Food Championships in Las Vegas.
“That’s what got us into competing,” Matt said.
Since then they’ve competed in numerous competitions throughout the North and Southwest and have been featured on the Travel Channel.
Competitive barbecue is “something that takes a lot of work to perfect,” Matt said. “It’s a whole different animal than barbecuing in your backyard.
“You want to come up with that ‘one-bite’ barbecue taste that will grab the judge’s attention and get high scores.”
Part of Crooked Pigs’ secret is that they use a mixture of charcoal, wood-fed and pellet-driven grills depending on what category of meat they’re cooking. Conversely, many teams will cook all their meats on a single, large grill.
“Our style is to use several smaller grills,” Matt said. “That way we can tailor our heat or smoke.”
Matt urges anyone who thinks they might be interested in competitive barbecuing to check out the Rock’n Brews and BBQ Festival to get a sense of what it’s all about.
“The sport appeals to all kinds of people, and the (barbecue) community can’t be beat,” he said. “It’s something you can’t find any other place.”
