Inside Shotgun Pete's BBQ

When Shotgun Pete's BBQ Shack Owner, Philip Peters Jr., started renting the building location in 2012, he came upon a lot of history in the building. He has kept most of the history the same while putting his own touch in the building. Take a look inside Shotgun Pete's BBQ Shack to see some of the history that includes a twist of BBQ.
