Pat Neely co-owns and operates the famous Neely’s Bar-B-Que restaurant with his wife, Gina Neely, in Memphis, Tennessee. Their successful restaurant led to a Food Network show that premiered in February 2008 called Down Home with the Neelys. When Down Home first premiered, it was the highest-rated series debut in the five-year history of Food Network’s “In the Kitchen” weekend block, and it continues to be a top ratings performer.

Pat Neely actually started his family restaurant with his brothers and a $20,000 loan from his grandmother. Through hard work and determination, Pat was able to expand it into one of the most successful small businesses in the country. Alongside his wife and high school sweetheart, Gina, Pat has turned his tiny Bar-B-Que restaurant into a world-wide phenomenon with multiple restaurants, multiple shows on Food Network, and a branded line of Bar-B-Que products.
