The answer: about 25 years. That’s how long Dave spent criss-crossing the country searching out the best BBQ in America. Everyday we smoke our meats over smoldering, sweet, hickory fire for up to eight hours. We rub ‘em with secret seasonings and slather ‘em with the world’s best sauces. What does it all add up to? More than 300 awards and one delicious dilemma. How to decide what to order? The Grand Buffet offers plenty of variety from salads and savory main dishes to the most tempting delicious desserts.
