It was through this knowledge of ingredients and food, handed down through generations, that sparked his interest in the food business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628da793a700c90f0290ea3c/fc7925e7-2e63-4b4a-86e1-2f8cba8c9233/Bubba+Lou+BBQ.jpg Ribbers - Bubba Lou’s BAR-B-Q With the 3rd generation now working the smoker and barbequing up our families recipes, you can taste the long history bursting in every bite.
