Ocean Springs restaurant owners participate in presidential turkey pardon
SUMMARY: On Monday, Brooke Lewis and Brad Orrison, owners of The Shed BBQ and Blues Joint in Ocean Springs, represented Mississippi at the White House Thanksgiving turkey pardoning ceremony. Invited by the National Turkey Federation, they named and met the turkeys, Peach and Blossom, before the event. The pair, known for winning the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest three times, documented their experience on social media. They watched as President Biden pardoned the turkeys in front of a crowd of 2,500. The tradition dates back to 1947, though folklore credits President Lincoln with sparing the first turkey in 1863.
