Utah is a place for those that enjoy peace and solitude within the public. I love it. I've lived in salt lake as well as in American Fork right before the pandemic hit.. and I was happy there. My life elevated to a level it had never gotten too previously. And most of all I had peace. No distractions! Instead I had focus. Focus and enough peace to go within myself and make life make sense. It can be a challenge anywhere but.. I have some good progressive memories and experiences that I will never forget while living in Utah

Les I love this interview. You gotta do more about how you grew up and stuff. I really respect how you put it all on yourself and quit that job and believed in yourself. You got so much charisma and swag and your food is so dam good you just starting to make it big. I always tell My kids if you don’t burn the bridges behind you -you won’t have the courage to cross the ones in front of you -You took that risk and it’s paying off. I’m a customer for life. Ordered about 5 times and I thank you for being you and putting out such an incredible product. Looking forward to another interview & I got that candy red shirt on today. I need a Les bar bq hat now. Cmon make a cap. You need a recording of your voice at your events. “Come check Les barbq Texas in every way.

So glad you like Utah. My son is in the oil and gas industry. He got a job in Vernal Utah. Very small town. The people were not very friendly but there were some who were. The white people mostly the kids would look like they never seen a black person. Lol. Yes there were black people in Vernal Utah but just a few. We liked Salt Lake City and Park City is beautiful. We went to other places in Utah also. We came out of our comfort zone and we went to Utah so he could work. We left because it was hard to find a place to live there. And my granddaughter was not happy at Vernal Middle School she was maybe one of 5 kids there maybe not that many. So we are back in Houston Texas and I would visit Utah but I don't think I would stay there.
