BV65 Executive Chef Scott Redington got into the food business as a suggestion from a family member. He started cooking on the line at a restaurant in his hometown of Salt Lake City.

He had a boss tell him once that he wasn’t going to make it in this business... Good thing he’s stubborn because that’s why here in Northwest Arkansas all these years later.

He’s been up and down the western half of the US, but has been in Bella Vista now for a while as the Executive Chef for the restaurants under the Bella Vista POA, who’s newest property is the BBQ restaurant known as BV65.. He’s newer to BBQ, but his pitmaster Flavio Valverde isn’t, and they’ve come up with a delicious menu (especially those smoked pork belly tacos).
