It wasn't. I chatted with Burgau shortly after they announced CCBBQ. They wanted it to work with Rob, but they were clear from the start that the restaurant could move forward without him and he would be on a short leash based on his past.

Will try to find out some more details from Burgau out at Hogs if I run into him.

They probably brought them in and look at the recipes and watched him for a few months and canned him like they had planned to the entire time.

Haha wut. Burgau is not Dr. Evil dude. He wanted to operate a successful business and for whatever reason felt he couldn't. He wasn't secretly planning to steal the chef's recipes and then give him the boot.

Rob is passionate, I'll give him that. He was putting out some next level stuff on Jackson Ave back in the day. I thought this may be a good space for him to do his thing as he just needed someone to run it so he could smoke brisket and call it a day.
