On this episode of the Port City Plate Podcast, we sit down with Bama Bob myself, Bobby Lankford. Bobby is the mastermind behind one of the best BBQ restaurants in Mobile, Bama Bob's BBQ. Bobby has one of the most incredible stories we have shared on this podcast.
What started as a hobby of judging BBQ at a local charity competition eventually turned in to him mastering the art and science of BBQ and becoming an award winning competitor himself. Now, Bobby has escaped the corporate world and is mastering the restaurant industry with his award-winning BBQ on Dauphin Island Parkway after having no prior experience in the restaurant industry.
We talk about his delicious food - ribs, brisket, pork, wings, mac and cheese, spicy collards, and cole slaw. You will be shocked to hear how some of the sides came on the menu. Bobby even spills his secret on his brisket! Finally, we wrap up by discussing the BBQ scene in Mobile and the variety of styles found in the city.
His unique story is not to be missed! Be prepared to make a visit to Bama Bob's BBQ quickly after listening to this episode!
