TERRANCE “Perm” NICHOLSON,
CEO & PITMASTER
Terrance, AKA Big Perm, is a West TN born and Nashville raised barbecue pitmaster. He entered his first competition in May 2014 and won the pork rib contest and hasn’t looked back since. As he continued to compete, many people who tried his food would ask where they could purchase the food. The seed was then planted to start a catering business, which then turned into a food trailer. Terrance’s passion is to bring the traditions of his hometown of Brownsville, TN to the masses. His slogan is,”To treat everyone like family.”
