What ya’ don’t know…He’s just a humble kid from the south.
Where he got his entrepreneurial spirit…The entrepreneurial spirit came from my family. My grandparents were both farmers in the south and to survive you were entrepreneurs.
How he came to love barbecue…I was born into it. I was lucky enough to born into a community that really practiced this tradition of pit-cooked barbecue.
On competition barbecue:I’m not a fan of competition barbecue, Rock. I love it as an engineer but as a traditionalist, as a black pit master in this country, I hate it. It doesn’t show the people who… were very much hands on in developing and perfecting American barbecue.
