The Essentials The pull of barbecue started with family memory: "When I was about 5 (late 70s), my family moved to Lexington, and I can remember being in the line at Shealy’s in Leesville on hot Saturday afternoons." "I don’t recall any other memories of my parents and all my brothers and sisters together like that so those are special ones." Another influence came through television: "Growing up in the country we didn’t have cable, so I only had 4 channel choices. Anytime Justin Wilson’s show, Louisiana Cooking, came on PBS, I watched it because he told the best stories and cooked really good-looking food."
