Featured Famous Fan: Jay N LaVerne, CA
“Follow me this summer as I do my part to show the next generation what authentic All-American BBQ is all about.”
As a youth minister, Jay N. has given his life to help young people become upstanding citizens. Part of that call, Jay says, is introducing his youth to real barbeque: the smoked hickory goodness of Famous Dave’s. “I'm glad someone cared enough to snatch me from the clutches of fake barbeque,” Jay says. “I must pass on this heritage.”
