Examiner: What makes your establishment unique?
Ben: We smoke all of our meats and prepare homemade sides fresh daily.

Examiner:  What is a little known factoid about your place?
Ben: We started out by buying a 40' concession trailer, decking it out with wood siding and a tin roof and began selling Q on the side of the road. We sold out 100 consecutive days.


Examiner:  What is your specialty?
Ben: Bama-style BBQ and Southern Soul Food Sides
Examiner:  What is your patrons' favorite thing about your establishment? What's your favorite?
Ben: Our customers love our quality food served with a slice of Southern hospitality in a lively atmosphere. I really enjoy the instant gratification I see on customers' faces when they are leaving Moe's.
Examiner: Anything new on the horizon that people can look forward to trying?
Ben: Yes, we recently started franchising and have a new location in Fort Collins, CO with more to open this year in Tuscaloosa, AL, Huntsville, AL, Nashville, TN and Atlanta, GA.
Examiner:  What is the top thing you recommend visitors to your city do/see - besides your business, of course?
