Thanks For The Honor

Folks:


I’d like to take some time to thank all my customers. Actually, business people ought to thank their customers daily. But this occasion requires special thanks. Back in February the good people of southern Hillsborough County voted Hog Wild Bar-B-Q “Best of South Shore” in the barbecue category. The “Best Of” contest is a yearly contest run by the South Shore News in the South Shore area (Riverview, Gibsonton, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Sun City, Wimauma). The readers of the newspaper cast their votes for the best business in the many categories offered, such as sandwiches, pet grooming, photographer, etc.

In the barbecue category it was essentially between us and Sonny’s. And we won.

But Sonny’s is so big and popular. Sonny’s has been around for decades. How can a little old shack of a place like Hog Wild Bar-B-Q beat them in a popular poll? It’s easy. We at Hog Wild are passionate about our barbecue. And because we’re so small we can treat each slab of ribs like a work of art. We can fuss and fret over the slaw, the potato salad, and the barbecue sauce. We can make sure each pork shoulder is cooked the way we want. We can chat with each customer. The result is the very best barbecue anyone in Hillsborough County has ever had. Period.

But wait – I don’t need to toot my own horn like that. The people have spoken and tooted it for me. My many thanks to all of you! I’ll just shut up now…
