My name is Ned Richard. I am Louisiana native where food is king but where great commercially obtained BBQ is very hard to find.
I grew up in Lake Charles, and I have lived in Baton Rouge and Sheveport for around 8 years combined. Currently I resided back in Lake Charles. Thus far the best BBQ I have had in Louisana is at Grayson's in Clarence, LA (near Natchitoches, LA). Although they are different styles, Grayson's rivaled the likes of J. Mueller's in Austin, TX. I am avid BBQ and grilling enthusiast and I am here to grow my knowledge and share ideas.
A little bit about my background, I have a Wildlife and Fisheries Management degree (B.S.) and I am currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering (B.S.). I have been working professionally in the Environmental field for 11 years. I have done water quality assessment, regulatory compliance and technical advisement.
When I am not up to my ears in my undergraduate studies, I love to smoke, BBQ, and grill. I enjoy traveling just for the sake of trying different styles of BBQ. I have been to a few places in Texas (as previously mentionted J. Mueller's, Austin, TX) as well as Mississippi and Alabama. Although my travels are in BBQ tasting adventures are limited I have to say that so far Texas is the tops. I am excited about getting to Memphis, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Any other suggestions are welcomed!
Another hobby of mine aside from the world of BBQing is homebrewing. I have been homebrewing for about 8 years now. Nothing better than enjoying a good homebrew while tending the fire. I am strongly considering designing my own homebrew system or a smoker as my senior project. Well that is if my advising professor will sign off on it. LOL.
Let the fun begin!!
