A story about barbecue and good-hearted people who helped victims of a hurricane

So here's what we mean about the good-hearted people in our community. Here's a shining example if there ever was one. John Riesebeck, who owns Smokin' J's Real Texas BBQ in Gulfport, was so moved by the plight of the folks on the east coast of Florida who were hit hard by Hurricane Matthew that he decided to do something to help. He rented a truck and hauled non-perishable items over to the tiny town of Edgewater in Volusia County, and he set up his smoker and he cooked for people. But there's way more to the story than than. It involves the Gulfport Chef's Table and a lot of people who pitched in. Kudos to The Gabber for telling the story. You've got to read this. What a wonderful community we live in.
