Monroe food trailer serves up barbecued meats and grilled seafood - The News Star
Bro How? BBQ in Monroe serves up barbecued meats and grilled seafood to customers in Northeast Louisiana.
The food trailer is owned by Monte Browhow, who said he started cooking at a young age and after years of working in the restaurant industry, decided to branch out on his own in 2020.
"I was working at Danken Trail [B-B-Q] and thought, 'Why help the next person make money when I can make it myself?'," Browhow said. "It got me thinking, and when they actually fired me, I thought it was the best decision for me to start my own business."
The trailer offers classic barbecued meats, such as chicken, ribs, sausage and porkchops, in several platters. Bro How? BBQ features several combinations, such as a three-rib platter served with two sides, a four-rib platter served with two sides and a three-meat platter served with two sides. Side dishes for the platters include macaroni and cheese and green beans.

"From the jump, I started off with barbecue, and it led to more cooking," Browhow said. "I started doing grilled porkchops and started doing seafood. The list just goes on and on."
Although the business is known for its barbecue, Browhow said his seafood platters have become popular with customers. The seafood platters are is offered in two options: snow crab clusters served with shrimp, sausage, corn, an egg, potato and dipping sauce for $35 or shrimp, served with sausage, corn, an egg, potato and dipping sauce for $25.
