Ortega'z is closed today, but check ‘em out SOON and try that incredible smoked half-chicken…because nobody smokes ‘em like Marcelo!

We racked it up, this week, with patches and now we're going to let you rack it up, with some good ole country fixin's. The Butts and Brisket are smoky, hot, fresh out of the smoker!!! Blazin' Bacon says get your rear in here!

Ever heard of "Okracoke Brogue"? Read our blog to learn more about the unique historical dialect still spoken on this small Outer Banks island village!

Love days like today. Awesome run out except for the googans running the channel. Pounded some nice gaffer mahi this morning, killed 14, and lost another 10 maybe from short bites, pulled hooks, etc... by 11 we had what the crew wanted so we modified our approach and started searching for a blue one. I had a couple of marks that got me excited but never raised one. Ran home at a nice 27kts, cut fish, and am finishing up the day at Striper's Bar.
