This Sunday, 9/27, we celebrate the 7-year wedding anniversary of MRBL BBQ founders Mike and Rhonda Taylor. When they embarked on this journey in 2019, they had no idea of the beautiful path ahead.
In those early days, life was simple. Mike wasn’t yet a professional cook or smoker; he had spent years as a mechanic before starting a landscaping business. Rhonda has always been in recruiting but also a passionate entrepreneur, recognizing a hidden talent in Mike that he hadn’t yet realized or pursued. Through a challenging venture that did not come to fruition, they found their calling, leading to the creation of MRBL BBQ, which they launched with the purchase of a food trailer in 2021.
The first few years were filled with humble beginnings and perseverance. They took on any opportunity to connect with their community, from chili cook-offs to local events, often driving hours for a chance to share their passion. Their dedication eventually led them to the Sanford Marketplace at Magnolia and later to the building at 440 North Dixie Freeway, where they began serving the Volusia area.
Mike and Rhonda are deeply grateful for the incredible support from their customers over the years. Their love story continues to grow stronger each day. Please join us in wishing the M&R in MRBL a happy wedding anniversary and many more joyful years ahead. Thank you for being a special part of their journey.
