Vision for a Smokier Grand Rapids

Img_3836

One of my "jobs" is being the Innovation and Jobs Editor for Rapid Growth Media.  

I recently had an opportunity to write a feature story about grilling and barbecue.  (It was a masterpiece)

Besides my obsession with barbecue, I've been inspired by all the cool-BBQ things coming out of Motown. I recently read an article in the Free Press about the 2010 Restaurant of the Year:  Union Woodshop.  

Maybe not your quintessential barbecue joint, but certainly smoky at it's cure.

Prediction:  Within the next three years, there will be a barbecue renaissance in Grand Rapids.  

ps. the pic is my lonely Weber kettle tucked away in snowbank.
