Barbecue Maestro! As a child his grandfather taught him the secrets of authentic pit barbecue. Bob's Smoke House down-home-style barbecue restaurants are considered San Antonio institutions and have served barbecue lovers, like boxing promoter, Don King; talk-show host Oprah Winfrey and Spurs basketball champion, David Robinson. He delighted his patrons with homespun sayings like, "If you like cooked meat, that's your business; if you love barbecue, that's Bob's business." Free-lance restaurant reviewer Ron Bechtol of the San Antonio Express-News said, "Wells was a craftsman at the top of his form."
