    We used to go to his spot all the time. Years ago they tried to bully him out of a neighborhood that was mainly white. It's more like a business district but all of the businesses are white and they didn't like to see or smell his BBQ, he'd have all types of people come through, they tried to burn his spot down, then burned the building next to his spot. He never bragged about who his nephew was, I've been going there for years and never knew until snoop came and it was on the news. Good dude. Great BBQ also. R.I.P.
    PORTLAND, OR — There may not have been anyone who did as much to sing the praises of Mississippi-style ribs in Portland than Reo Varnado. His rib joint, Reo's Ribs, was more often than not packed with a line outside.

    Rest in peace to him...that's the wrestler Sasha Banks real namesake. That is one incredibly talented family (Snoop, Daz, Sasha, Ray J, Brandy).
    That's five; now they just need a Janet, Rebbie, and LaToya to tie the champs.
