The ‘3 <strong>Taxi</strong> Guys’: from the left Rick Hewatt,<br />

THE CHECKER CAB<br />
THAT BECAME A BBQ<br />
The Checker ‘CabaCue’ cooks whole hogs.<br />
‘The CabaCue’, that’s the proud name of<br />
the classic 1979 Checker Marathon which<br />
drove around Atlanta and then sat in a junk<br />
yard for 20 years. It was recently given a<br />
completely new lease of life as a … barbecue<br />
and smoker.<br />
Strange? Not if you’re the ‘3 <strong>Taxi</strong> Guys’.<br />
A few years ago Rick Hewatt (Atlanta<br />
Checker Cab), Jamie Campolongo (Pittsburgh<br />
Yellow Cab) and John Lazar (Luxor<br />
Cab in San Francisco), found each other in<br />
their love of barbecuing.<br />
They went one step further and started<br />
up ‘3 <strong>Taxi</strong> Guys’, creating and supplying<br />
delicious barbecue sauces and rubs. “We<br />
also have a professional BBQ competition<br />
team”, adds Rick Hewatt. “And we now use<br />
the CabaCue to cook whole hogs in BBQ<br />
competitions all over the US. We have competed<br />
in The World Championship BBQ<br />
Cooking Contest in Memphis and in the<br />
Big Pig Jig here in Georgia, which is one of<br />
the largest and most challenging BBQ contests<br />
in the world! Obviously we are having<br />
a lot of fun with it as we compete in about<br />
7 or 8 BBQ contests a year and have won<br />
many accolades and first place ribbons for<br />
our BBQ sauces and cooking.”<br />
And the CabaCue? Hewatt laughs: “There<br />
was a reality show on the Food Network<br />
called ‘The Shed’ here in the US about a BBQ<br />
restaurant and the owners, the Orrison Family,<br />
in Ocean Springs Mississippi. One of the<br />
episodes is called ‘Smokin <strong>Taxi</strong>’, featuring<br />
the owner Brad and myself building this taxi<br />
smoker. It also featured the ‘3 <strong>Taxi</strong> Guys’<br />
taking delivery of the unit at a BBQ and<br />
Blues event here in Atlanta where we cooked<br />
on the CabaCue for the crowd. Pretty cool!”<br />
“My repair shop here in Atlanta completely<br />
restored the car and together we<br />
put the CabaCue in ‘3 <strong>Taxi</strong> Guys’ colours.<br />

ONE MILLION<br />
REWARD FOR<br />
AN UBER-TRIP<br />
The Seoul authorities want to make absolutely<br />
sure its ban of the Uber-app is followed<br />
to the letter and hopes to engage the<br />
help of the population. Everyone who<br />
reports an Uber-trip and proves it with a<br />
receipt, photo or video, receives a 1 million<br />
Won reward – about 800 Euro. In the Korean<br />
capital dispatching trips via the Uberapp<br />
has been banned since July 2014. jh<br />
