C&G's Smoking Barbecue is one of Minneapolis' favorite locations to enjoy pulled pork. The restaurant is about equal distance from Lake Nokomis and Lake Harriet.

Cooking food was more of a hobby, but he loved to serve food for people at social events. The barbecue platters have a definite Detroit influence because of what ingredients are included.
