The Rib Cage BBQ & Catering is based in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where barbecue is as popular and well-known in the Spa City as gangsters and live horse racing. We have turned a hobby into a competitive extracurricular activity and have recruited friends and family to “work for food.” Just like most barbecue fanatics, our hobby turned into a passion, and the passion has turned into a career. Funny how that works.
Barbecue is definitely a mainstay in the Valley of the Vapors, so entering the realm of smoky goodness could be considered crazy for all intents and purposes. So, we hit the competitive BBQ circuit in 2009. With an education from some, and a few wins from others, we decided this BBQ thing might be all right. Of course, we are “Famously Unknown.” For now.
