9401 Statesville Rd, Charlotte, NC 28269
It’s all in da sauce
Deep Southern roots
Down home spirit
Tyrone Davis, Albert King, Louis Armstrong fill the air
Ultralocal
BBQ from the people for the people
Situated in North Charlotte in strip mall heaven
An unassuming location
A short history, only opened 8 years ago, but already attracting thousands
One of the few black-owned and operated BBQ joints in the state
A recollection of the people, workers, and restaurant of Bobbee O’s BBQ in North Charlotte, North Carolina
Bobbee, a pillar of the community was retired then decided to open up the place
Prep cook, Michael, used to work at Campbell’s Soup
Has a son who works there
Values the leadership of Chloria and Bobbee
A Family-orientated team mentality
Has so much love for the work and his work family
Loves the ‘cue
Owner, Bobbee
Well I'm drifting and drifting,
Like a ship out on the sea.
Well I'm drifting and drifting,
Like a ship out on the sea.
Well I ain't got nobody
In this world to care for me.
Prep Cook, Michael
No Shortcuts
It’s all in da sauce
About the love and craft of the ‘Cue
A down-home authentic Southern experience
BBQ that lives in the shadow of upscale restaurants in other parts of the city
But stacks up against them and even better
Endless crowds streaming in after a Panther’s loss
Fast casual one would say
High volume
Fast Paced
Well-oiled machine
Everyone knows their role in the kitchen, a tight space, but organized and disciplined
A dance of bodies pulling meat and three for the customers at such a fast pace that it becomes second nature
Led by Bobbee and Chloria
Everyone pitching in
Prep Cook, Rueben
Everyone is important, irreplaceable, but can pick up the slack where it needs it
Good food, good friends, good fun.
The work, the effort, the blood, sweat, tears, money, but the product, payoff is worth it
There must be something
That I'm missing
Or is it something
That she's got, oh, baby
An everyday spot for everyday people
Panthers on the TV
Whether they win or lose
Everybody’s gotta eat
Whether its guys in camouflage flexing their latest jacket from Cabela’s
Or guys wearing Julius Peppers’ or other classic players’ jerseys
Or stewardesses staying at a nearby hotel
Blue-collarard greens
If my baby would only take me back again
If my baby would only take me back again.
Well you know I ain't good for nothin' baby
Ladies and gentlemen
While landing at Chicago's O'Hare airport
Please fasten your seatbelts
And observe the no smoking signal
Until you're well inside the terminal
Thank you
For the love of the customers
Seeing smiles on their faces
Dealing with the frustrations and demanding of delivery drivers
Tickets keep coming in
Steady line past closing time on a Sunday night
But its for the love of the customers
Producing quality product at a fast pace
I give you all of my money,
Tell me what more can I do.
I give you all my money,
Tell me what more can I do.
Well you just a good little girl
But you just won't be true.
And if my loving
Mean anything at all to you
I just wanna tell you, I've changed
I mean, I'm a brand new me
Oh, baby, yeah, I'm ready to crawl
It's all about the sauce
And the ribs
And the pulled pork
And the brisket
And the greens
And the fried okra
And the chicken
And the fried pickles
And the sweet tea
Recipes stay the same
1 person and 1 person alone knows the BBQ sauce recipe
A small, friendly restaurant with BBQ that has people across the nation driving from all over to taste our BBQ!
I can't stop feeling this way about you
I can't stop feeling this way about you
When I take a bite out of those ribs
Bye-bye baby, baby bye-bye bye-bye,
It's gonna be too late baby
I'll be so far away.
I'm coming on home
I got to see you
One more time, baby
I'm coming, I'm coming
Oh, baby, I got to have you
Mama, mama, mama, mama
Look out, I'm coming home
