PDFS 016 - Interview with Mitch Barbour

Podcast@PeeDeeFoodie.com (PeeDeeFoodie.com) — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 05:00:00 +0000

Host: Kevin Barron (aka Pee Dee Foodie) 

Guest: Mitch Barbour, restaurant owner

Location: CHUBZ, Florence 

Sponsor: N/A

In this Episode:

Episode 16 finds me visiting with the owner of CHUBZ in Florence, Mitch Barbour. Mitch has owned and operated many businesses in his lifetime, including bars, clothing store, shoe store, and more. How did he get into the restaurant business and what's the concept behind CHUBZ? I was curious to get those questions answered given CHUBZ unique take on menu items -- especially the "CHUBZILLA." Mitch answers all of my questions and gives a bit of his philosophy on value for money, as well.

While this may sound like a big commercial for CHUBZ (especially due to the unique segment added to the end), it was not sponsored by, nor suggested by Mitch. I just thought it would be fun to do during a recent Saturday visit. If you're a local restauraunteur interested in being on the Pee Dee Food Show™, contact me. We'll schedule something.

Our new theme song is a clip called "Cajun Stomp" and, while I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, is a nod to the specific Louisiana roots in both my and my wife's families. It also sounds perfect for the show with its driving beat and up-tempo feel. We like to have fun around here!
