If you were among the fortunate who attended the recent Bostwick Cotton Gin Festival, you undoubtedly savored the great aroma and taste of southern barbeque. Lots of great food vendors there, some are even local families who do Bostwick annually, and one who wants to make it a delicacy he shares with folks throughout Georgia.
Some of the longest lines at the Bostwick Festival and also at the most recent Sunflower Farm Festival circled around the site of Big Kev’s barbecue. People waited as long as 40 minutes to enjoy the pork served up by this great Rutledge family.
Big Kev starts out as a major let down. With a name like: Big Kev, one is likely to anticipate a 350 pound guy who appears to have just ended an NFL lineman career, and now doing something his granddad taught him. Instead you meet a neat trim fellow whose background is a Navy family, lots of corporate experience, and ably assisted by a talented spouse, and several well-mannered offspring. Hey, where are stereo-types these days? This is a barbecue guy who wants to talk branding techniques and marketing from a commissary. More.
