Memphis in May meeting


Well its that time of year again. Yesterday we had the first meeting of 2008 for this years Memphis in May. It was a great time and dang good to see some of the guys on the team. As you know I'm not really into the competition thing..........nothing at all wrong with it I just dont really have the time to do it. But this is a lot of good clean fun, and I'm really looking forward to it. I brought some "prospects" to the meeting that I'm hoping will join. Lamb, Michael, Nathan Wells (sous chef from Eastland Cafe), Jason McConnel (chef/owner Red Pony & Sol in Franklin) and Dave Story (Jim-n-Nick's).............Yazoo is coming on board to sponsor and supply beer. We eat better than any team down there and this year should be no different.

That's great brother. I'm walking...to do my own thing in KCBS.

You could throw some help my way for Sponsors.

I just have to do my own thing, I can't deal with the BS anymore.

You'll always be my friend no matter what happens.

But I just have to walk away.

Hillbilly Rib Runners has been born and you are always welcome to come hang with me in the local comps. anytime.

I will miss all of the guys, but it's my turn to shine...

What is this Blog???

You ever been sitting around cooking for your family and friends and been told the following: "Hoss, this is the best I've ever had in my dadgum life.....you have got to open up a place of your own". The thought crosses your mind to do just that, but for whatever reason you dont. Well I'm "that" guy that actually went through with it and did it. I had absolutely ZERO restaurant experience! I decided to start this blog about my own experience hoping that it may be of some use and help to others who might be interested in opening their own place.
I learned this craft almost 20 years ago cooking whole hogs on brick & cinder block pits at a couple of little BBQ Joints in Henderson, TN. I learned from old, lifelong career Pit-Masters, working with them as an apprentice during school off and on for four years. Over the course of that time I learned the old, time-honored craft of REAL pit barbecue. At Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint I am trying as hard as I can everyday to bring that time-honored authenticity to my customers.
As you read you'll see I've made some stupid decisions, and I've made some good decisions. If you are thinking of opening a restaurant, especially a BBQ Joint, read this blog! Maybe some of this info can be of use to you. At the very least you will be entertained because I pull no punches.
Now listen, this is my blog to not only help with information but my blog to freely rant about my day to day experiences. There is no real "bad language" on this blog but there might be some things said that are very "tongue in cheek". If you are easily offended and/or cant see the satire in my posts then please just leave the blog. It will save both of us the annoyance of each other. For those of you who do like satire and are looking for good information about this experience, then by all means enjoy!
