Loyal Q and Brew

Alpharetta Barbeque, Bourbon, and Brew, with Natasha Clark, Director of Operations, Loyal Q and Brew (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 703)

Natasha Clark, Director of Operations of Loyal Q and Brew, joined host John Ray on North Fulton Business Radio to talk about the traditional smokehouse experience offered at this popular Alpharetta restaurant. They discussed their handmade smokers and their process which produces outstanding traditional smoked barbeque, their extensive and unique bourbon collection, the restaurant’s capacity for catering and special events, private dining rooms, and much more.

North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Loyal Q and Brew

Loyal Q is a smokehouse dedicated to serving the freshest ingredients possible. They have a true passion for creating a one-of-a-kind experience for each and every guest they serve, and they do that with a little help from their traditional “smOAKers.”

All their meats are smoked in their beloved smokers named Harry, Lloyd, Doug & Steve. These smokers were handmade in Texas and use wood as the sole fuel source, not gas. They use Post Oak from Texas and Hickory wood from North Carolina.

Specializing in prime SmOAKed meats, Loyal Q catering has you covered for any event of any size!

Robby was recently honored as one of the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s “Most Admired CEOs” of 2018. An adventurous food, wine and beer lover, he is equally excited about trying Buford Highway noodle shops as the country’s best restaurants.

Kevin Heath/MTD Benefits

Kevin Heath is a licensed Life and Health insurance agent in Georgia, the southeast, and multiple other states. Kevin holds many other certifications within his industry and is always on the cutting edge of certifications in his field. He has been helping clients with their health insurance needs since 2004. In the early years of his career, Kevin worked directly for a few large insurance companies and agencies. While he really enjoyed being able to help clients find coverage that best suited their needs, it was clear to him that not one company is best for everyone and this was the driving force that led him to start his own brokerage firm. MTD Benefits grew from Kevin’s desire to offer his clients a multitude of options from multiple carriers as he felt strongly that what may work for one person wouldn’t work for another. MTD stands for Making The Difference and that is exactly what drives Kevin professionally.

When Kevin is not helping others with their insurance needs, he loves spending time with his wife of almost twenty years, Brooke, and their 3 daughters. You can usually find Kevin and Brooke watching their eldest daughter on stage, in the stands at a football game watching their middle daughter cheer, or on the sidelines at a soccer game watching their youngest daughter play. Kevin is a member at The Highlands Church and loves spending time with his church family. He also serves on many boards and committees with local organizations. Kevin is a strong believer in giving back to the community and he makes it a priority to do so in many ways throughout the year.

Juan Luna/Luna’s

Juan Luna, opened Luna’s Restaurant February 7th, 1997 on the ground level of the Hunt Tower in downtown Gainesville, Georgia. His mission is to offer the local community a restaurant serving the best American cuisine with a Continental flair. Each year, in operation, Luna’s has consistently increased its patronage. Furthermore, Luna’s has become a household name in catering. Over the years they have catered some of Gainesville’s most memorable events – art openings, graduation ceremonies, victory parties for political candidates, the Governor’s fund-raisers, the inauguration of their Chamber of Commerce and the 33rd International Canoe Federation Flatwater Racing World Championships, to mention a few. Luna’s has been tremendously successful in catering rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and various other personal celebrations.
