    Haha. I'm cracking up at the "no way I'd cook bbq in the snow." My first BBQ cook was an overnight pork butt in the dead of winter in Cleveland about a mile from Lake Erie. It was bitter cold. The wind was making it a pain to keep consistent temp... but I pulled it off. I barely slept... but I pulled it off

    Awesome interview with solid intel. Just retired from the military and starting my BBQ venture here in GA and the unknown of where that next paycheck is terrifying and exciting at the same time. Starting exactly how these guys stated, pop ups at car shows, brew houses, pretty much any venu that will have me while operating under the radar until we can go legit. That "I've cooked more shitty food than you" and "no plan B" quote hit home. Great stuff man, I'll be checking out more from both of these gentlemen.

    Really cool interview with Mikey and some seriously good information in there. I completely get that hustle and it’s cool to hear his story, a lot of people want to do the same thing. It’s not easy to run a business. Awesome job chandler!
