Perry's Roadside BBQ
Our story starts with two brothers growing up in the suburbs of Washington D.C.
While we took different paths after high school, our love of good food has always served as a constant bond. Frank decided to serve his country through joining the Navy. Carl headed out West to Colorado State University to get his Bachelor’s degree.
After the Navy, Frank’s path took him to be a paramedic/firefighter in the Northern Virginia area. After college, work took Carl down to Florida. The restaurant industry does not run in the Miller family but a career path changed that for Carl, always the neighborhood cook, who dove into the restaurant business. Through small chains, franchises, and large brands, all with differing menus, Carl fell in love with the restaurant industry.
Frank soon became the preferred cook in all stations assigned and started feeding his entrepreneurship desire, starting his first business. Carl’s passion for food found a home with barbecue and even more into the method of low and slow smoked food. Carl continues to constantly try out new recipes for the number one food critic, Heidi, his wife.
Over the years, Frank grew his business knowledge running numerous companies and Carl kept on his journey through the food industry. Carl fell in love with the special feeling of creating a dish from start to finish and watching others enjoy.
In the fall of 2020, Carl was finally ready to make the move, bet on himself, and share his smoked creations with the public. Some believe Frank had been waiting for this phone call for more than a few years. Carl and Frank have now combined their talents and passion for food to deliver unique flavor profiles and mouth-watering dishes all through the use of low and slow smoking.
We invite you to savor the result of these lifelong journeys napkins in hand.
