Happy 9th Blog Anniversary to Barbecue Bros!

(L-R) Monk, Speedy, Rudy, and friend of the blog Boomsauce in Ohio, October 2020

Monk: Nine years ago today, it all started with a discussion between Speedy and Monk about Charlotte’s best barbecue on our way to what turned out to be a disappointing visit to Bobbee-O’s, then the #1 joint in the city (at least according to Yelp). That then led to this tweet:

And then Rudy, who at the time lived in Austin, offered to be our beef correspondent:

And then it didn’t take too long to come up with the name:

All this happened in the span of less than an hour, and our first review was up later that afternoon. Shortly thereafter we picked our “noms de blog”: Monk, Speedy, and Rudy. Nine years and 294 reviews later here we are.
