Mobile restaurant Great White Smoke BBQ, LLC opens first physical restaurant at the historic fire station in Scotland, Indiana. Great White Smoke is the choice barbeque for Indiana University athletics including football, basketball, and the Little 500 bike race.
Great White Smoke Founder and Pitmaster David White says he is delighted to open his first brick-and-mortar restaurant after having success serving authentic barbeque throughout the Bloomington region. He says Scotland, located in the WestGate@Crane Technology Park community, is the perfect place to establish an address for his business.
“With Scotland being founded in 1837 (Platted in 1835)…it has such rich heritage. The tech park [represents] the future. For me, I’m sitting at the past and the future, super excited to be a business owner. I have the heritage to fall back on, this story, and the tech park to help launch us into the future.”

White originally created his mobile food cabin to raise money for his son, Graison, who was hospitalized at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The fundraiser-turned-successful business was officially founded in October 2013.
