Caterers

Dave’s road to fame began with a strong hankerin’ for fine barbecue and a stronger desire to make the finest slow-smoked barbecue folks had ever tasted. He visited rib shacks, roadside joints, every hole-in-the-wall or fancy pants supper club he could, all in search of the most succulent meats, savory seasonings and lipsmackin’ sauces around.

After 25 years of tastin’ and cookin’, Dave’s barbecue just plain knocked the socks off his family and friends. That’s when Dave decided he had to share. He wanted to give all the folks a chance to dig into the best barbecue ever. And in a place as down-home fun and frolicsome as the shacks and clubs he went a callin’ on all those years.

Folks like you made Dave “Famous”. His barbecue and restaurants have been showered in more awards than he has walls to hang ‘em on. Over a hundred for best ribs, best new restaurant, best music, best take-out and best barbecue joint. Heck, we didn’t even have ta’ bribe the judges.
