Food Network to film at restaurant Saturday
Early next year, The Food Network will unveil a new TV show and Louie Mueller Barbecue will be a part of it, along with some customers who visit the restaurant during the film shoot Saturday.
In addition to sneaking behind the scenes to learn a little bit about how Wayne Mueller runs the business and how pit master Lance Kirkpatrick prepares the meat, the film crew will interact with guests, getting feedback, their thoughts on the food and their memories of the restaurant and its previous owner Bobby Mueller, Wayne Mueller’s father, who died earlier this year.
“Obviously, we’d like to have as many people there as possible,” Wayne Mueller said. “By that same token, the people themselves will have the opportunity to be interviewed and be part of that segment when it airs on the Food Network.”
The restaurant has been featured on the Food Network before. “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” hosted by Guy Fieri, now one of the network’s top-rated programs, featured Louie Mueller in its pilot program in February 2007.
