Years ago, they were smoking a pork butt in the back yard. I got a call from Mike saying, “I was thinking about building a smokehouse in our Yard”. My response, from the register at the grocery store, was 'That would be great!' When I returned home that afternoon, there was an excavation truck leveling the spot where, hours later, a smoke house was built.” -Danielle Gallop Mike is a professional who will stop at nothing to bring you the best food and provide the best experience out there. When they create an idea with you, it becomes their “smokehouse”. They will not bring in an excavation truck, but they will build everything to suit you. This puts Twins among the best &amp; good places to eat.
