“White tablecloths and wine lists don’t equate barbecue to me.”

“I’m going to do what I do regardless of what’s going on around me. I didn’t really think about where we fit in [the barbecue scene].” — Joe Carroll about Fette Sau on Snacky Tunes

“Once you get the attention of a group of people, it’s important to show who you are and be honest.” — Emil of Emil & Friends on Snacky Tunes
