A few years after Carey Bringle opened the Peg Leg Porker restaurant, he got a call from an ARCA race car driver's manager asking if he would feed a team in exchange for a sticker on his car in the Nashville race. She talked about how this independent driver visited children's hospitals in every city he raced in. The story hit home for Carey, a pediatric cancer survivor himself. That driver was Josh Williams and he won the race that night.
Ever since that race, Josh and Carey have kept in touch and Peg Leg Porker has sponsored Josh's car in his Nashville races. Since that time, Carey started more ventures and Josh moved up to the Xfinity series. One thing didn't change, the connection between the two. Both are fiercely independent and both share a passion for supporting charitable causes. In fact, last year, Josh was a finalist for the Comcast Community Champion Award. The ceremony was in Nashville and Carey was right there to support Josh's amazing charitable work across the country.
This year is no different. Peg Leg Porker will again be a sponsor on Josh's car and while Josh is in town, he will make a visit to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
The TN Lottery 250 is this weekend on Saturday at the Nashville Superspeedway. The race starts with driver intros at 2:00 CST.
A Nashville native, pitmaster Carey Bringle has been competing in barbecue contests for more than 27 years, and has the blue ribbons to prove it. With a deep southern background built around family values and appreciating a good meal, Bringle founded Peg Leg Porker in 2013. Peg Leg Porker is named after Bringle himself and his greatest win, a cancer battle that he triumphed at the age of 17. With his win, he lost his leg, which led him to create a new name and only added more fire to his passion for success. What started out as a whole hog BBQ team and catering business, turned into a whole lifestyle brand, inclusive of spirits, sauces and spices, to accompany world-class BBQ.
Upon opening its doors in the heart of Nashville, Peg Leg Porker was quickly named one of the hottest BBQ joints in the country by numerous media outlets, including Food Network, The Travel Channel, BBC, Southern Living Magazine, Texas Monthly, GQ, Garden and Gun Magazine, and many more. Peg Leg Porker is known for its juicy, smoked-to-perfection pork ribs drenched with a spicy dry seasoning *after* being smoked. Not to mention they're made from scratch, yet playful sides, like Kool-Aid pickles and pork rind nachos, plus Peg Leg Porker’s southern hospitality have guests feeling right at home.
Peg Leg Porker has expanded, sharing their ‘cue with fans all over the world with their e-commerce site to ship nationwide. Although many wish Bringle would open another location, there will only be one Peg Leg Porker. Bringle says, “We’re building a legacy, not a chain.” This year, they will be celebrating a decade of being a part of the Nashville community and are excited to continue to be a part of it for many years to come.
