An open letter to ALL BG's Smokehouse Customers, Clients, Friends and Family,,,
I have been truly Blessed to be able to build and develop BG's Smokehouse since 2019. We've had tremendous support and success and discovered the BEST customers in East Tennessee !!! It has been a pleasure working and serving each and everyone of you and your Families. ..
Sometimes in life we get thrown curve balls,, and the end result is how we react to what we have been delt, with that said I am backing away from BG's Smoke House and closing my doors.
Please believe me that everything has been perfect at the Cabin,,, I'm just looking at retiring, AGAIN,, 🤣😅 ,, only this time I have Sheree to try it out with, and I think it will stick with me this time !! But please understand that I have searched high and low for someone to take over, and the Big Man Upstairs answered my Prayers...
God has Blessed me again by sending a young man, Frank Magana, walking through my front door at the Cabin,,,
Frank is an outstanding Marine Veteran. When he came home from Afghanistan he suffered from PTSD from being a mine sweeper, working 2 clicks in front of everyone he was responsible for !! And believe it or not Bar-B-Que saved him when he came home !!!
He studied BBQ techniques and learned to be one dang good Pit Master.
He now holds BBQ Boot Camps for other Veterans having troubles after coming home !! He has owned a very successful food Truck in Nashville named " Hearty Hogs BBQ", and he absolutely loves to give back to his community. Long story short, Frank, his wife and beautiful daughter came into the Cabin about a month ago, and absolutely fell in love with our little Cabin, we walked and talked about my visions and his,, after they had their meal we talked again, and his vision included our Cabin for his BBQ love and using it for for his BBQ Boot Camps and serving his excellent BBQ to our little town, our neighbors, friends and all public as well..
I feel Frank will take care of y'all same way myself and all my Allstars girls have done since the beginning!!!
Also, please understand, I don't loan anything, give my stuff to anyone, or allow anyone to use our equipment or cabin !! But after talking, for a month and the feeling out time, of his intentions and dreams, he has proven himself, and I feel that you'll be in great hands, AND your stomachs will be very satisfied !!!
So bring your appetite and give our Friends at Hungry Hogs BBQ a visit,, meet Frank Magana and his folks,,, great Folks !! And please remember, I WILL NOT LEAD YOU ASTRAY for great food !! Thank you for supporting our little cabin.
We will still be around to support our town and Frank!!! May God Bless You All.
Sincerely,
Basil L Garrison & Crew
