Jeff Richardson, the owner of Obi’s Barbeque in Marion, Indiana, appeared on WISH-TV’s Weekend Daybreak to discuss his journey into the barbecue business. Richardson started his business after winning a contest that gave him a year’s lease in a building to open his restaurant. Located at 402 S Washington St, Obi’s Barbeque offers a variety of smoked meats and flavorful sides such as smoked beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, green beans, and collard greens. For dessert, guests can enjoy apple or pecan cake. The restaurant also offers a delivery service within Marion County for orders over $50. The name “Obi’s Barbeque” is a tribute to Richardson’s love of “Star Wars,” with the name inspired by Obi Wan Kenobi.
