Business owner information

Carey G.

Business Owner

With deep-seated roots in the West Tennessee BBQ culture, I developed an appreciation for Que at a young age. To say that my family had a passion for it is an understatement. My Grandfather, Dr. Carey Bringle Sr., grew up in Covington, TN cooking hogs and as an adult, delivered the children of many of the BBQ families in West Tennessee. I grew up going to Bozo's, Lewis's Store and Leonard's, all West Tennessee icons. There was no getting around it. Smoke was in my veins.  I was groomed for competitive barbecuing by my uncle, Bruce, who competed in the very first Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. I have now been cooking in the Super bowl of Swine for over 23 years and with my former team Hog Wild, took 2nd place on three separate occasions.
