Smokin Aces started with my husband’s love for barbecue-ing and his desire to share it with others. Being something he was passionate about, I jumped in to help him where I could and to make his dreams a reality. We never made it big time, but we did make it a big family affair with everyone involved. It was a labor of love. The prepping was what Joey and I jokingly called date nights, but in all honesty those hours spent working, talking, prepping, planning- they went beyond quality time, which was 100% my husband’s love language. We never needed fancy dates, expensive trips… we just needed to be together. The Great Pumpkin Patch was the first event we worked as a family, and definitely our favorite. Hayden, our oldest son, feels strongly that we continue the tradition this year in honor of his Dad. And so we will. We will be running a limited menu with only Pulled Pork Sandwiches and our original Chicken Pepper Bomb. MAYBE loaded beans- not decided on that yet. But we hope to see y’all at The Great Pumpkin Patch this Saturday and we will do our best to do as well as Joey always did.
