Brotherly support

Smokin J’s BBQ has a strong background in Paralympic sport. Joshua George, co-owner, raced in 4 Paralympics and has won 5 medals. Co-owner and brother, Jeremy George, has come out and supported Josh from the stands in Athens, London, and Rio. Knowing how much it means to athletes to have the support of the community they live in, the brothers decided to host ‘Meet Team USA’ to celebrate the community and local talent.
