September 23, 2025

A 97-year-old man in Houston, TX, is still firing up the grill and welcoming customers to his barbecue restaurant every single day. His dedication isn’t just about business — it’s about passion, perseverance, and proving that it’s never too late to follow your dreams.

Jim Johnson said it has been his lifelong goal to open his very own barbeque joint. Remarkably, J-Bar-M Barbecue became a reality just four years ago, when Jim was 93.
