Don "Skeeter" Miller is the longtime owner and president of The County Line, the iconic Texas barbecue institution he helped launch in Austin in 1975. Starting as the restaurant's first dishwasher, he worked every job in the house before being invited into partnership and eventually leading the brand's growth into a multi-location barbecue operation spanning several states. Under his leadership, The County Line has become known for its hilltop and lakeside locations, its laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere, and its famously generous platters of ribs and brisket.​ A hands-on operator and industry advocate, Skeeter has served as president of County Line Incorporated and has been deeply involved with restaurant associations and legislative advocacy on behalf of independent restaurateurs, earning multiple honors for his contributions to Texas's hospitality community. On this episode, Skeeter shares the story of how he went from washing dishes to building a beloved barbecue brand, what he's learned from nearly five decades in the business, and why he believes in supporting local food and community above all.
