It all started with a drive down Cuero Main Street in 2007 when Rev. Leofrice Tilley, Jr. was inspired to build a bbq pit out of cinder blocks.

“It was after church and my father and I were coming down Main and there was this old building that had been torn down. There were cinder blocks piled around and I heard the Lord tell me to go build a BBQ pit,” Rev. Tilley said.

Just like Noah with the Ark, Tilley said that God gave him the exact measurements to build this BBQ pit. He said he didn’t know why he was to build it, but that he should just get those blocks and make a pit.
