To celebrate his new endeavor, Waskom is hosting a three-day grand opening celebration. The first 50 dine-in guests receive gift cards worth up to $50.

“We are located right across from my alma mater, Northwestern State University, and near two other schools, making this the perfect location for students and staff to grab great barbecue,” said first time franchise owner, Lee Waskom. “I love this community and I’m looking forward to working with different campus organizations for caterings and fundraisers.”

On Friday at 10:30 a.m., the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce will be at the new location for a ribbon cutting. Guests can also stop by for all day merchandise giveaways. Saturday the new restaurant will be serving $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches and radio station 97.5 KDBH FM  will be on-site from noon to 2 p.m.  Barbecue eaters will get a chance to win a $500 gift card or be one of three winners for free barbecue for an entire year.
