Sizzle and Smoke: Celebrating 5 Years of Bobby’s BBQ in Fountain Inn
October 18, 2023
Bobby’s BBQ in Fountain Inn, SC, is gearing up for a sizzling celebration in partnership with Kingsford. The “Sizzle and Smoke Community Cookout” is an event that marks their 5th anniversary and the fruitful collaboration with Kingsford in the Preserve the Pit Fellowship. This event promises a delightful mix of music, mouthwatering barbecue, kid-friendly activities, yard games, a rib-eating contest, and much more!
The festivities will take place on October 22 from 1:00 to 5:00 pm, at the Bobby’s BBQ location Commerce Park at 200 Depot Street, Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
Entertainment Highlights
The event will be graced by the special musical guest, Mac Arnold, and the sensational Plate Full O’ Blues. DJ Countryfied from Demallo will set the mood with country tunes. There will also be a rib-eating contest that promises a spectacle. Not to forget, a delightful banana pudding pie competition in the face event featuring the Mayor, Tay (owner of Bobby’s BBQ), and other local favorites!
A Cause to Rally Behind
Beyond the celebration, the Sizzle and Smoke Community Cookout holds a deeper purpose – to raise funds for Bobby’s BBQ building fund. The establishment is actively working towards enhancing the overall experience for its patrons. Plans include expanding the covered patio to create a heated and cooled interior space, bidding farewell to unwelcome flies. Additionally, a massive covering over the outdoor seating area is in the works, providing shelter from rain and shade for comfort. The community is invited to contribute and be a part of this transformation.
The Bobby’s BBQ Experience
Bobby’s BBQ stands out for its commitment to a unique and authentic barbecue experience. All meats are 100% wood smoked using specially crafted smokers made from 1000-gallon propane tanks in Dripping Springs, Texas. Their distinctive flavor profile is a result of a process that refrains from using gas or electricity, allowing the natural taste of the wood to shine through.
Owner Tay Nelson
Apart from the great wood smoked meats, Bobby’s BBQ prides itself on crafting sides, banana pudding, and tea from scratch using cherished family recipes. The seasoning, aptly named Bobby’s All Purpose Seasoning, adds a flavorful touch to both meats and sides.
The Journey of Bobby’s BBQ
Owned by Tay Nelson and his wife Sarah, Bobby’s BBQ is a tribute to family heritage and culinary passion. Tay’s roots in Fountain Inn and his early experiences in the restaurant industry set the foundation for Bobby’s BBQ. The business began in 2010 with the creation of Bobby’s All Purpose Seasoning, blending spices from his father’s recipes with his own natural ingredients. The seasoning line has expanded to include three distinct blends, all bearing the stamp of authenticity and a dedication to quality.
Tay Nelson, owner of Bobby’s BBQ, enthusiastically shares, “Bobby’s BBQ is not just about great barbecue; it’s a celebration of family heritage and flavors that bring people together. Our journey started from a desire to honor my father’s legacy, and it has grown into a community-driven culinary experience. The Sizzle and Smoke Community Cookout embodies this spirit of togetherness, and we invite everyone to join us in this special celebration of our 5th anniversary and the exciting future ahead for Bobby’s BBQ!”
Come join the festivities, enjoy great barbecue, groove to the music, and be a part of the story as Bobby’s BBQ looks ahead to more years of serving the patrons.
