Great things are happening here at Big Lee’s! Back in 2014, after Big Lee’s was open for just a few weeks, I told Patrice that I felt like God was going to re-establish my platform as a motivational speaker through BBQ. It felt like it made no sense when I said it. We hadn’t won any awards, no TV appearances, no one knew who we were. But God had a plan and in my heart I could always sense it even in the early days.

Now that thing I told her has come true. I’ve worked hard to build this incredibly successful platform for almost 10 years now. We have become a positive light in the community, become a global destination for BBQ, millions of dollars in sales over the years, employed dozens of people, put Ocala on the culinary map, won countless awards, dozens of national TV appearances and still loving my family and God like nothing has ever changed.

I’m now taking this same, super powerful spark of inspiration that Uncle Leon gave me and I going to share it with the world in the most engaging, fun and powerful way possible!

The platform is re-established and I am so excited for the speaking engagements I have lined up. I have some that are volunteer work and other conferences and keynotes that are paid opportunities.

When I speak, I help students and working professionals find their spark of inspiration, and convert it into an inferno of passionate successful living!

If your interested in booking me please direct your inquiries to https://www.mybigleesbbq.com/book-rashad-jones and my team will field your request and see if we can come and set a powerful fire inside of you and your organization.

Enjoy!

Great things are happening here at Big Lee’s! It’s time to spill the beans! One of my first culinary dreams has come true! Big Lee’s will be on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives this Friday at 9pm representing Ocala, Marion County and Florida once again on the worlds largest culinary platform, Food Network! This is one of the longest running and most popular shows on ! The Mayor of Flavortown has invited us to show the world what we’ve been doing with barbecue for all these years now!

Dreams really do come true! Hard work, dedication and being committed to high standards is important if you want to see your dreams turn into realities!

I’ll talk more about this in a FB live! But in the meantime, I want you to mark your calendars for this Friday, the 31st 9pm on ! Spread the word to everyone you know!

Lastly, I honestly can’t ever thank enough for your friendship, guidance, coaching, being a big bro to Patrice and I and for being Uncle Guy to our boys! You are such a massive blessing to our lives and so many others! Thank you!

8pm C I 9pm E
This trip, Guy’s digging into meaty mashups from all over the world. In Boise, Idaho, a Russian joint is servin' up lights-out lamb and out-of-this-world dumplings. Plus, a Pakistani spot is cooking authentic dishes like flavorful goat and righteous rice. In Ocala, Florida, a barbecue pro is puttin' his delicious spin on smoky ribs, brisket mac and cheese-stuffed sausage.

Merry Christmas! Today is such a special day for our family!

I love hearing the little feet pattering across the floor at 5:30 am with eager anticipation!
