About Chef Edward Reavis

Edward “Ed” Reavis, chef and partner of Money Muscle BBQ, brings a taste of diverse regional barbeque to Montgomery County. Born in a small Virginia town only ten minutes away from the North Carolina border, Reavis was raised on sweet potato pie and smoked barbeque drenched in tangy Carolinian style sauce from his grandmother’s kitchen. However, he never envisioned a future working in a kitchen of his own until he started picking up shifts at a local Applebee’s while attending Virginia State University. The competitive nature of the corporate kitchen forced Reavis to quickly master the basics, but he often found himself spending time off the clock creating his own dishes to impress friends and family.

Reavis left college his junior year to pursue a career in food and enrolled in the Baltimore International Culinary School where he was able to study professional cooking while working full-time. After working in the kitchens of steakhouses across the Washington, DC region, he joined the opening team at The Capital Grille where he met his future business partner, Jennifer Meltzer. In 2015, Reavis and Meltzer opened their first concept, All Set, a New England inspired restaurant in Silver, Spring Maryland.

After five years in business, All Set has become a beloved part of the Montgomery County dining scene for its seasonally inspired, seafood-centric menu. The comradery of the kitchen staff and the positive local response to his personal style of cooking has been a point of pride for Reavis, who hopes to have similar success with the launch of Money Muscle BBQ.

Named as a nod to Reavis’ love of health and fitness, and the award-winning barbeque pork cut, Money Muscle BBQ offers a menu of distinct American barbeque styles. Looking to his expansive spice rack for guidance, Reavis developed well-balanced spice rubs and sauces that are unique, but still pay tribute to their regional roots.

When not in the kitchen, he’s an avid fitness enthusiast who enjoys playing around on his drum set and spending time with his son and two dogs at their home in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
