00:00We still put back up on, and we still wear high heels.
00:10I'm Deborah Jones.
00:12And I'm Mary Jones.
00:13And we are the owners and runners of Jones Barbecue.
00:38Our dad was just really teaching us how to do things.
00:42You know, he showed us how to mow grass, you know, shovel snow, do the barbecue.
00:47That's how Jones Barbecue got started.
00:51It's not so much we look at it because they say it's a man's dominated field,
00:56but at that time when we were young, our dad was teaching us just how to make it if we
01:02lost our job or something went wrong.
01:04Just a rival.
01:05Yeah.
01:17She called me one day and she says, oh, she says, I found a building and I'm going back.
01:24We're back.
01:25It was kind of hard to get back in the groove of it, too, because I'm like, I know this
01:28is right, but I'm missing something.
01:29I don't know if that's the truth because she never lost a touch.
01:33She's just like riding a bike.
01:35You know, you never forget, huh?
01:38You don't know if you're atue.
01:55I'm using mama a team.
01:58It's here.
01:59And it's here.
02:00I didn't ask you what they know.
02:02Okay, can't see it.
02:03No playnin' there tonight.
02:04I can't see it no playnin' down.
02:05Yeah, can't see it no playin' there tonight.
02:06You can't see it no playnin' there.
02:06And you better grab it.
02:07Just get in the game yesterday.
02:16I try to encourage, I wish it were more women.
02:20Coming out of the kitchen is basically the same thing.
02:23You just get a little smoke.
02:25I don't know. I don't know.
02:27Toss my soul, and giving up, and flipping that meat,
02:31and washing that wood and that fire,
02:33and then if the fire gets out of control, that's a lot.
02:35You can say, well, you know, you're wondering why I do that.
02:38You can do anything.
02:39Well, yeah, I could, and I have done other things.
02:42I worked for the Postal Service.
02:44You know, I was a bank teller.
02:46I mean, I've done other things,
02:48and, you know, I went to college and everything,
02:50so it's not like I'm just out here,
02:52you know, and I'm lost,
02:53or not know what to do.
02:55It's just, you know, just something I just took on
02:58and tried to keep my name going.
03:13On a day-to-day basis, that makes me and my sister happy,
03:17is when we see our customers happy.
03:19That's what, yeah.
03:20That motivates you right there.
03:22It sure does.
03:22Especially when they come back and give you a compliment,
03:24like, hey, everything was great,
03:26and we appreciate it.
03:28You know, we appreciate them.
03:31You know.
03:31All right, Precious, here you go.
03:33All right.

03:43Okay, you parked right here.
03:45They say it's a man's game,
03:48but, well, here we are living proof.
03:51I don't think so.
03:53I'll put my sister up against any of them.
03:55We'll see you next time.
03:57From next to date.
