> Founded by L.R. (Louis Ralph) Laggy after a transformative road trip through the Midwest and South, Rang Tang Craft Barbecue established itself with a clear mission: to serve the most delicious brisket using only the highest-quality ingredients. Laggy's founding inspiration was simple: 'I want to feed people the most delicious brisket around.' The business operates at the Lafayette Farmers Market on Sundays from 9am to 1pm, May through October, located on Public Road in downtown Lafayette. Rang Tang sources exclusively from small, local farms where animals graze on pasture and vegetables grow free from chemical treatments, including Grama Grass & Livestock, Buckner Family Ranch, and Frank's All Natural Homestead Meats. They cook ethically-sourced meats for hours using local oak and fruitwoods in an offset smoker, adding little more than salt & pepper, and pledge to use no seed oils, ever. The company emphasizes regenerative agriculture practices that strengthen soil health, explaining their broader impact: 'When you eat a plate of food from Rang Tang Craft Barbecue... you are also directly contributing to a more robust food system and a healthier Earth.' Rang Tang joined the Boulder Farmers Market in 2023 and can also be found at The Rayback or available for private events. The name derives from a folk song by Mountain Man that celebrates food and gathering, reflecting the restaurant's community-focused ethos.
