When Chef Aaron Patin made the announcement that he would be closing Iron Grate BBQ Co. after six successful years in business, the news came as a shock to barbeque lovers across the city of Milwaukee and beyond. The questions came fast and furious: Why would he choose to close? And what would he do next?

Along the way, Patin shares the reasoning behind his decision to close, the lessons he’s learned and the memories he’ll treasure for years to come. Listeners will also find out what Patin is currently doing with his time. (Hint: it's definitely bbq related).
