Ask Harvey Green what the secret to good bar-b-q is and he'll smile and say, "You've got to take your time, y' know? Go slow and easy just like making love to a woman."

He should know. Since 1956 Harvey has been the Cutter at the original Bono's on Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville, Florida. Yep. That's right. More than 50 years of chopping, slicing, cutting, cooking and chatting up folks lucky enough to find a seat at his counter. His regulars know him and he knows his regulars, how they want their meat cooked and what sauce they like.

Every Bono's restaurant has its own version of Harvey Green, masterfully working the pit. But if you happen to be in Jacksonville, stop by and say hello to the Original. Then get ready to have some of the best darn southern bar-b-q this side of heaven.
