After leaving Friday’s, he moved back to Memphis and started working at Huey’s as a bartender, then moved into management. Two years later he became a partner. Huey’s was a bar then, but because of Boggs’ corporate experience with Friday’s, he saw the trend coming and began building the menu, transitioning Huey’s from a bar to a restaurant.
