Hoggy’s bbq an underdog story

Social media stunt food

TikTok stunt food videos: really big, over the top, silly food. Example the dino bone burrito, huge cheeseburgers, mac and cheese on sandwiches, and wasting food for social media. Hoggy’s bbq in Columbus, Ohio is focusing on food quality instead of quantity. Kyle Turner (owner / operator of Hoggy’s) is down to get silly on social media DO IT FOR THE GRAM! Porkchop is Hoggy’s BBQ’s silly mascot, really it’s a pig mask that anyone can wear. Anyone can be Porkchop.

Lifestyle changes

Kyle is now gluten free and has been eating healthier these days. To Kyle, balance is very important in diet and life. I, however, have guilt free eating regardless of what I eat. We talk about Americans and our huge portion sizes. Kyle tells me how to redesign a menu to make it as clear and effective as possible. He also talks about restaurant hiring challenges, spending money on hiring sites with no result, scheduling interviews with no result, etc.

Polarizing food opinions

Overrated food truffle oil and underrated food pie shells. Burgers should be wider, not taller. Simple food is often the best. Follow Kyle Turner at https://www.instagram.com/hoggysbbq/
