Been waiting for this to go public. I love it when a well executed plan comes together & dreams are forged. Proud of my guy Craig Tabor ... Save me a platter on Opening Night, brother! 🤙

Sometimes you unexpectedly have some of the best food of your life. This was the case a few months ago over Father’s Day when Alison ordered BBQ from Craig Tabor. Not only was his meat among the best I’ve ever had, his sides were the best I’ve ever had. Craig has also written two cookbooks, which I thought was incredible.

Fast forward a few months later, Roland and I were trying to figure out how to work with him, when Gus from Big Burritos Mexican Grill also joined the fold. So…….With that being said, we are all super thrilled to announce we are opening Craigs version of BBQ in the last space on Main Street together.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have such great partners! Roland and I, are super excited to work with Craig & Gus. Their food, and character is top notch.
We sincerely hope you will join us in welcoming them to Main Street!

Best,

Nick

Update from our trip to Burnsville, NC:

Simply said, this may have been the greatest experience of my life. I traveled to my home state on Monday to help feed as many people as possible for a couple of days. From 11am - 3pm on Tuesday we had a solid line of 30+ people. We smoked 32 pork butts and served 700+ pulled pork sandwiches and several hundred bowls of Brunswick Stew. Wednesday was a repeat with smoked chicken and chili.

This region, this town and this community have been completely devastated. Through everything that has been lost and taken from them, it was the greatest show of love, hope, compassion and friendliness I've ever encountered. Everyone was thankful and appreciative. We shared stories, gave hugs and shed a tear or two. This community will come back stronger.

I have a lot of people to thank for this opportunity. Together, we have raised $7300 to date. Never did I think we'd have such an outpouring of support. Thank you to my friend Chris Saccone for volunteering to go with me and tirelessly helping. Thank you to Mark at MW Studios for allowing us to use your parking lot to help feed this community. Thank you to James & Amanda at The NuWray Hotel for your accommodations on Wednesday night. Thank you to Kyle and Kim and Courtney and Amy and the Burnsville Hub and everyone else for helping spread the word and believing in us to pull off this mission.

Much love, y'all ~ Chris

PSA: I've always considered North Carolina my home. I was born there, helped smoke my first whole hog, graduated college & got married there. Amy & I own a tiny piece of God's country in Burnsville, one of the cities completely devastated by Hurricane Helene. We hope to retire there one day. I feel compelled to help in any way possible, so next week I'm dragging my 500 gallon pit, Lulu, up there to sling as many hot meals & BBQ as I can. I rarely ask for help, but today I am. Donations to help offset some food costs would be greatly appreciated. Any & all financial donations will go to buy food, provisions & make contributions to Yancey County. Please reach out to me however you like. My Venmo is . If anyone wants to make the trip w/ me, I could use an extra set of hands. Thank y'all! 🙏
