Big Easy

The barbecue champions' event is back, after selling out last year. We’re big fans of their family-style dinner with mouthwatering offerings including pit-smoked turkey and their secret pan gravy, or for something a bit different their whole nova scotian lobster. Pair with southern slow-cooked cornbread stuffing or velvety sweet potato mash – and make sure to try a slice of their Jack Daniels-infused Pumpkin Pie.
