Columbus, Ohio style barbecue - Hoggy's BBQ

How to deal with mean comments on social media

How to deal with hater comments.

Hoggy’s made videos about troll comments on TikTok and Instagram. 614 Magazine did a write up on the video, Kyle tells me about the write up and how mean comments affect him.

A drunk driver drove their car into Hoggy’s Restaurant on 830 Bethel Rd, Columbus, Ohio.

Hoggy’s BBQ and Star House

Hoggy’s donates their leftovers to Star House which is a great organization. From Star House’s website “Star House operates Central Ohio's only drop-in center for youth, ages 14-24, who are experiencing homelessness. Our drop-in center services are provided 24/7/365 days a year. At our drop-in center, youth are provided access to food, clothing, hygiene items, laundry facilities, showers and a safe place to be. Beyond basic needs, our clinical team provides therapy and case management, and partner agencies provide on-site and community-based access to stabilizing resources, such as housing, transportation, health care, employment, education, addiction services, legal aid, government benefits, ID cards and more.”

Hoggy’s recently had two influencers come in and make content. SnipingForDom has over 600,000 followers on TikTok. Big K’s Que has over 165,000 followers on TikTok. Kyle said that both of them were very friendly and gave him quality feedback.

Kyle’s Film Feast movie choices were the tomato scene in Lord of the Rings Return of the King and the cakes in Marie Antoinette.

Is Banh Mi the best sandwich?

Kyle’s been eating a lot of Bendi Wok n Bar because he loves banh mi sandwiches. He thinks it might be the perfect sandwich, it’s good to go but he suggests dining in. He goes for the shaved pork banh mi and his significant other orders the cashew chicken and of course he sneaks a couple of bites. 

Kyle says it can be true that one place is good, and another place is good as well. Everyone can win, multiple places can be good, all places can have merit. A barbecue community would be awesome, Kyle Turner owner of Hoggy’s is down to collaborate and connect cc Ray Ray’s, Hanks, etc. 

The future of Hoggy’s? The main focus is high quality delicious food but also, they’d like to have multiple locations. If and when they do expand, they want their current Bethel Rd location to be the smoking hub and they’d deliver the food to the satellite locations.
