Tonight on the Greg Rempe bbq central radio show, i won two bottle's of Pee Dee River Swamp Sauce. How bout that!!! much fun...
Last week my friend Zach Zajicek's wife, whom i had given some SR's sweet & spicy #4 bbq sauce too, said she liked it so well that she would love to actually "buy" some from me in the future for her family out of state.

Traders Village BBQ Contest 2008

for the third time in the last four years I attended the IBCA traders village bbq cookoff.
each time was an incredible learning experience. but this time was more than i could have ever hoped for.
i was lucky enough to meet doug and carole ritter of ritter's bbq. they were kind enough to talk and discuss
with me many of the finer points to the science of low and slow bbq cooking. little did i know when i was talking
to them, they are one of the top bbq teams in the southwest. the good lord keeps leading me in directions i could have
not ever imagined. i will do my very best to make him proud.

Summer Vacation 2008

The Shed BBQ/ ocean springs mississippi

a day@the shed...

the more i research "the shed bbq", the more respect i have for the owner brad orrison. marketing has its place. a very important place. i've grown as a person and as a rookie entrepreneur.
i see and judge the way he runs his business. some things i believe he does perfectly. some things i would change in a heartbeat. but at the end of the day, he is the boss and i am not there yet. but i'm staying super positive by always ending my postings by writing a line out of the "Godfather". {we're getting there pop's. we're getting there.} many thanks mr. orrison.
for some reason the good lord has steered me in your direction.

The Sauce...

poppa jack's sweet sauce is the real deal. sweet and tangy, a delightful mixture of sugar and spices. 25 years of poppa jack's life was spent perfecting this sauce recipe. he succeeded.
