Cooking for wounded warriors and their families and the caregivers... to do something that's so special on our 7th anniversary just means a lot, i can't think of a better place for us to be.

Barbecue is comfort food, disasters are what we do, but our passion is helping people. ... For us, that's about both feeding those who are hungry and honoring veterans and those in the military.

We're going to be serving more than 6,500 people, which is a really good training operation for us, we'll be serving more variety of food than on a disaster, but in many ways it will be like a real deployment.

We'll teach them the basics of grilling and smoking, we'll show them about competition barbecue and the camaraderie that offers... and we'll teach them what we do in BBQ deployments and hopefully get more volunteers.
