This deluxe kitchen is courtesy of Dwayne Christen and Rodney Long. They own the Sanford's and the building it's in at the Mingo retail center, and they also own PoBoys Discount, which is a restaurant equipment store in Georgetown. Sanford's Smokehouse is the men's original concept. The building has been three other restaurants in the four years since the development opened: Bummz, Buzz's Roost and Tailgator's. All three of those eateries had beach flair, but Sanford's is more nostalgic with a home-spun decor featuring lots of old trunks and car replicas. In the bar area, which is enclosed and warm for now but is open-air in good weather, there is a deluxe Old Hickory smoker that will hold 550 pounds of meat on a rotisserie system of 12 four-foot racks. Executive Chef Rob Doerr is burning hickory and oak for now, and soon he's adding pecan wood to the smoking recipe. "It's like Christmas for us in the kitchen," Doerr said on a recent Thursday night. "We can make everything in house and from scratch because of the equipment."
