Bragging a little bit. Hope this is allowed. My younger brother just won an award for Best Food Truck in the Lehigh Valley, PA area and had his pic in this month's magazine. He recently fought off colon cancer and made it through the surgery without a need for any additional treatment. He started up his business about 6-8 weeks later than normal this year due to the unplanned surgery he had at the beginning of May. He is now in his 8th year in business and growing year after year.

Well, tell him a big congrats from me for both the food truck award and whipping colon cancer!! Well done! :clap:
-
It's always a good day when you can kick cancer to the curb!! And if I ever get east of the Continental Divide, I'll be sure and stop and try his BBQ.
-
A great story. Looks like he is happy winner. Does he cook BBQ in his truck or at home?
-
He has a stick burner on the back of the trailer with 3 racks that rotate on it and a warming box on the left side. He found a great deal on a Southern Pride a few months back that has 2x the capacity of the one on the trailer. He has had both of them pretty well filled up the last few weekends that he has been open before this article was even published. Should be super busy this weekend. I know he cooked 30 butts on Sunday to pull today to work a little ahead for the weekend while before his helper went on vacation tomorrow. Thanks for all of the kind compliments.

Wow! That is some rig!

Atta Boy & Kudos!

Awesome job on 2 fronts. He has every reason to be proud and thankful. Nicely done. With the huge popularity of food trucks that is really saying something.
-
That is great news on the cancer and the rig plus the smoker look fantastic. If I saw that rig/smoker I would have to stop for some food for sure.
-
Great looking equipment and a happy brother. Very nice.
-
Congrats to your brother, 2 great victories!
-
A great win on two fronts!
-
That is great, and some nice looking equipment. Do you get to help out at times or at east get he family discount?
-
Congrats to your brother on his two big wins. Does he publish a schedule of where he will be parked in advance? I am in Jersey, and real close to the Lehigh Valley. If I knew where he would be, I would make the drive out to sample his grub!

I think during the summer he is at Newhard Farms 3250 Mauch Chunk Rd, Coplay, PA 18037
Our company is a roadside barbecue concession and catering business set up Thursday-Sunday next to the Newhard Farms Corn Shed, locally known for the BEST sweet corn in the area. We are located there seasonally from late April through mid November, with our catering business in full force all year

Thanks Bent. Only about 1:15 drive. Might need to make a trip out there and try it out.
-
Bentley is correct. Right now he is there Friday thru Sunday until he gets his stamina back up. Open 11-5 usually unless he sells out. I will warn you that he cooks to his clientele. It may not be what you like or expect to be top of the line BBQ that you may find in a competition. His customers are mostly people who can't make BBQ on our own like most of us here. If you go there, I thank you for supporting him. Arrive as close to noon as possible.

With the rigs he has, and seeing the picture on your first post, I am sure his Q is more than adequate, I am sure it is really good. I will let you know if I can get out there. On vacation right now, so it will be a while.
