Overview
Beth White is from Toledo and currently resides in Belle Center. She has two adult children, Matthew and Ashley. They, her son’s girlfriend Nicole, her devoted boyfriend Tim, and her handyman brother Jeff all help keep her life running smoothly.
The local businesswoman had prior restaurateur experience from owning “A Better Place” in Mechanicsburg for several years. During that time, Matthew and Nicole were visiting from New York and told Beth they knew the popular trend in dining was carryout barbeque. They asked Beth to look into the prospect of opening a BBQ shop. She said, “If you kids come and help run it, we’ll put it together.” Her kids said they would agree to a one-year venture.
Beth found an empty old cabin that most recently was the “Country Junction” pizza place. Matthew and Jeff took three months to totally revamp the site; however, were resolute in keeping the rustic cabin charm. “A Better Place for BBQ” opened in July 2011 with Beth, Matthew, and Nicole as co-owners.
In 2013, Matthew wanted to change the name of the eatery to commemorate Beth’s niece Shayna, who jokingly called her Aunt, “Uncle Beth.” Shayna was killed in a car accident many years before, yet, the family never forgot the fun name. And, as far as Matthew and Nicole’s relocation agreement, the kid’s one-year venture has turned to the five-year anniversary of the trendy and very popular Uncle Beth’s BBQ!
