Gary Parker on Southern Barbecue

Gary Parker has been smoking Southern style barbeque since was a hungry kid in growing up in Austin, Texas. A technology career guy, Gary needed a diversion and food for his buddies at the race track, so he started smoking and serving up barbeque meats with all the fixins to his friends on a donation basis.

Now the owner of BBQ2U, a successful barbeque joint in Gig Harbor, Washington, Gary tells all about the South, the food and the joy he finds serving this community.
