BONNIE Q BBQ BACKSTORY
I’m Doug, owner of the Arapahoe Café in Dillon, voted best in town on numerous occasions. Bonnie is my daughter and namesake of our BBQ Competition Team. We started competing in Frisco and Dillon 18 years ago at Kansas City Barbecue Society sanctioned events.
We’ve won People's Choice Awards in several categories and top ten finishes in all four major categories.
WE THINK OUR Q IS PRETTY DARN GOOD AND SO DO THE JUDGES.
We put our BBQ on the menu at the Café and can hardly keep up. Guests from Texas, Kansas City, Memphis and Oklahoma tell us our Q is as good as what they get back home. We think it's some of the best barbecue in Summit County!
So we said to ourselves:
LET'S TAKE THIS Q ON THE ROAD and expand into catering. Thus, Bonnie Q BBQ Catering Company. We offer full service catering in Summit County, Colorado.
What we serve you is exactly what we turn into the judges and what we serve at our parent company, the Arapahoe Cafe.
