Sheila Ann Anderzunas is one of the moderators of AmazingRibs.com’s Pitmaster Club. Originally from Chicago, Sheila Ann now calls Long Beach, CA home. She previously lived in the Dallas suburbs for four years and graduated from North Mesquite High School. She even learned to drive on a ’69 Chevelle with a three-on-the-tree!
Sheila Ann’s career has kept her in the hospitality and food world, working for both mom-and-pop joints as well as corporate gigs in which she was responsible for up to 60 restaurants. She used to be a partner in a whole animal butcher shop and spent seven years installing point-of-sale in hotels, restaurants, and bars around the world. She currently works as a bookkeeper and operations manager at a local cafe and market. She is also on the board of the Long Beach Grocery Cooperative organizing to open a community-owned grocery store.
Sheila Ann is a big fan of both MLB and the NFL. In her free time, she enjoys reading and collecting cookbooks, baking, and exploring culinary history with the Culinary Historians of Southern California. She says she discovered AmazingRibs.com while scouring the internet for BBQ and grilling content. She not only found the website to be an incredible resource for grilling and smoking but also discovered the Pitmaster Club which she refers to as a wonderful community of friends. She began her smoking and grilling hobby on a rusty Char-Griller Barrel style grill but is now the proud owner of a 22” Weber kettle charcoal grill; a Kamado Joe, Jr.; and a Char-Broil gas grill.
