It All Started with Donuts

<p>Today we talk to chef <a href="https://andyhusbands.com/">Andy Husbands</a>. Husbands now operates <a href="https://thesmokeshopbbq.com/">The Smoke Shop</a>, a Boston-based emerging chain of BBQ restaurants. He’s a six-time cookbook author and–– importantly–– a Pitmaster. The co-founder of internationally recognized BBQ team which competed for 20 years and became the first non-Southern team to win the World Champions of BBQ Title at the Jack Daniels World Championship in Tennessee.</p><p>I’ve been privileged to watch Andy morph from being a sort of enfant terrible to becoming an incredible force in in the Boston culinary scene. Andy is a person of immense management talents, as well as food talents. He could have gone in a million different directions. How did it become food?</p><p><i>Photo Courtesy of Smoke Shop</i></p><p>Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
