I'm not "in business" (and have absolutely zero interest in going into business) but I bbq A LOT and have for 15+ years. I've gotten requests from family members both immediate and extended to "Hey, can you cook for my company's party, son's rehearsal dinner, our church luncheon etc?" and the overwhelming majority of the time I've said "nope". More times than not, mixing family, business and money doesn't end well. Sure, it's not always the case. But I've heard more horror stories than success stories and that's enough for me.

I was told by a friend of mine who took cooking as a hobby and turned it into a business. "If you want to continue loving to cook keep it as a hobby. If you want to stop loving it. Turn it into a business." He's not the only one I've heard this from...
