We have eaten at Mission before they open in TV. Meat is always smoked perfectly, and best Mac & Cheese I have ever had.

I arrived in Detroit, people yelling baby killer, spitting on my family and me. No one would hire me tearing up applications in front of me, not because I wasn’t qualified, but I was a VN vet. After 5 months a few very wise Doctors told me not to admit, and remove “boots” in mash units in rocket alley. Offered 3 jobs soon as I did.

Over 45 years I kept quiet, but places like Mission BBQ bring us in the light.

My best moments at Mission was a 5yo little girl, came up asked if she could hug me, after I received my pin. She whispered in my ear, “my daddy says, nobody hugged you when you came home from war. I wanted to be the first.”

So good food, unbelievable great service, and sometimes the best hugs
