In this interview I chat with Andrew Hill from Embers Barbecue in Lubbock, Texas about his challenging road to their current location in Charles Adams Studio Project (https://www.instagram.com/casp_lbk/) in Lubbock, Texas. We discuss his time at Bigham's Smokehouse where he assumed he knew barbecue, to trying out cooking a Central Texas style brisket, to his epic BBQ fail trying to sell chopped beef sandwiches, to the crazy journey to opening in Levelland. That initial success and eventual downturn in business taught he and Jewel a lot of business and life lessons. It's a great story where I think you'll learn much about what it's like going into the BBQ business in an area not familiar with Central Texas style barbecue.Here's a map to the location: http://bit.ly/2M4OrYOSee all things Embers Barbecue here: https://www.realtexasgrit.comFollow Embers Barbecue on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/embersbarbecueCheck out Embers Barbecue on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/embersbarbecueSee them on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/EmbersBarbecue
