Great Barbecue and great beer are a match made in heaven, which makes this episode’s guest, Jordan Sorrenti of Paddy's Barbecue & Brewery, the Barley Belt’s greatest matchmaker.
Nestled in the heart of Calgary’s Barley Belt district, husband and wife duo Jordan and Kerry Sorrenti are serving up world class barbecue and award winning beers to wash it down. But the question on everyone’s mind is who the heck is Paddy? We learn that this Barley Belt staple is named after Jordan and Kerry's son, and Jordan assures us it’s okay to call him Daddy.
Paddy’s began not as a local barbecue joint but as a catering business specializing in keeping people fed through the Calgary Stampede. After adding a skookum Southern Pride Smoker to their arsenal they segued from catering to operating a physical restaurant where they specialize in barbecue and small batch lagers, including their award winning black lager.
Jordan makes our last in-person interview before social distancing a tasty one, and the guys can’t get over how he can make them hungry just with this words alone, which is no coincidence. Prior to being a barbecue boss Jordan worked in radio where he specialized in discussing and reviewing food. We learn about the process of reviewing a restaurant and how to deal with bad reviews, which is not to feed the trolls. As it stands the team at Paddy’s have enough trolls to feed with their regular crew of brisket trolls waiting for great deals on brisket at the end of a busy day.
After our mouthwatering interview with Paddy’s Daddy we conduct the first of our socially-distant sessions of Ask Mama T wherein she shares some tips on how to stay sane through times of social distancing along with advice on how to practice forgiveness for others when people screw up and the importance of letting go of the things that can weigh you down.
