Good Smoke BBQ was founded in 2006 in a bid to destroy the competition in our first KCBS Professional BBQ Competition. Well we didn't destroy the competition but we did ignite a love affair with barbecue and a need to perfect every aspect of our cooking. We have been lucky to have had many successes on the BBQ circuit these past years and look forward to continuing to feed our customers in the restaurant, through takeout and catering orders. Founded by Rochester natives Brian and Kelly Wemett.

Good Smoke BBQ

*Join us for a generative writing workshop against censorship at Irondequoit Public Library!*

This workshop is presented as part of our [Rochester Reads 25th Anniversary](https://writersandbooks.org/rochester-reads/) programming. Participants in this workshop will read excerpts on the subject of censorship from one of our 2026 Rochester Reads selections, Omar El Akkad’s *One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This*.

What is the role of the writer in an era of increased censorship, where the chilling of speech is a central tactic to suppress dissent, freedom, and social justice? Inspired by BELONG by Gianna Stewart this accessible, generative writing workshop invites you to “take back” one or more words on PEN America’s “Banned Word List” and say exactly what it means to you. Whether in poetry or prose, you’ll explore the associations, images, and personal definitions you have for words the powerful want to erase. Led by Tyler Barton, the workshop will include short readings of powerful works of literature that reclaim language, as well as prompts to get you thinking and your pen moving.

This event is organized in partnership with Irondequoit Public Library.
