I went to a barbecue restaurant today that I had heard about. It was ok. But looking around it just made me remember what I am trying to build and why I am trying to build it.

05 / 06 · Rusty's Pitmasters BBQ
The Hall & Pergola
The great food is just a vehicle to getting you to enjoy time with your loved ones and friends.
My bbq tastes amazing (IMO 😜 ) but I want it clear that my passion and focus is that my bbq and what I am doing is for the purpose of bringing people together.

06 / 06 · Why
Why he's building it
Above anything else I have a passion for bringing people together. In a world drowning in AI slop, disingenuous “connection“ over social media, I simply want to create a reason for people to be together. To experience something that is real and was created with talent FOR THEM.
Can you tell someone happy birthday in an email? Sure, but doesn’t it hit different if they write you a hand written note?
…what I hope will always stay consistent is that what I provide is something more than just a meal or a bite to eat. It’s something I hope actually brings you together closer with those around you that you share it with.

Savor the smoke, share the moment
The dream you are helping build
So when I officially start taking orders and you enjoy your time with your loved ones in your homes, know this is the dream you are helping build and why I am trying to build it. Savor the smoke, share the moment.
