 This blue ribbon, First Place,
award winning rib recipe was
featured in Famous Dave’s Backroads
and Sidestreets Barbeque Cookbook…
which was recognized as
“Best Barbeque Cookbook in America”
by The National Barbecue Association.
Critical acclaim for this rib recipe
doesn’t get any better than this! |
Dave’s time tested barbeque techniques were learned the hard way: recipe after recipe; one ingredient after ingredient; and one smoky fire after smoky fire… until he finally settled on his now famous slow smoked cooking techniques and award winning tasty recipes.
For 35 years, Dave has traveled the backroads of this country, exploring small towns and city side streets… visiting thousands of barbeque joints, rib shacks, … everything from the big mesquite pits in Texas and the smokehouses in the Carolinas, to the bastions of barbeque in Memphis and Kansas City and the black owned storefront rib shacks in Chicago. Few people have been in all the great barbeque joints throughout this great country like Dave. This passion for great tasting barbeque is revealed his award winning “down home” traditional recipes.
Many of these nationally renowned rib cooks and restaurant owners are friends of Dave and in the typical camaraderie found amongst champion barbeque cookers, Dave has learned time honored “hard to get” PitMaster secrets from the best of the best. These legendary Champion PitMasters are like “Gods” in barbeque country… AND NOW Dave reveals closely guarded secrets of America’s best pitmasters!
Dave grew up loving barbeque, because his dad, a full-blood Choctaw Indian from Idabel, Oklahoma (about as far south in Oklahoma as you can get!) used to take Dave as a young kid to barbeque joints in the deep south where they would eat barbeque while listening to southern country gospel music. Young Dave remembers eating tasty chopped pork smoked over smoldering charcoal heaped high on a toasted bun and drenched with a tangy bbq sauce, corn bread dunked in buttermilk, fried okra, barbeque baked beans, and apricot fried pies.
Today, Dave claims there isn’t anything better than
eatin’ a rack of charcoal smoked ribs listening to the blues
while the sauce is running down to your elbows! |
Famous Dave loves making people happy eating his great tasting barbeque. His goal is to “share the love” of barbeque with all his friends. Some may question… “Why would Dave share his barbeque secrets?” Dave simply responds… once people know how intense of an effort it is to make really great barbeque… then they’ll come back again and again to his restaurants because they’ll appreciate all the hard work it takes to make really great barbeque. Dave feels if people are going to go through the effort to make barbeque… then they might as well make the best barbeque.
| HOWEVER...there is a catch! |
You’re probably thinking…
I knew this sounded too good to be true!...
think about it…
A nationally recognized
award winning barbeque legend
sharing his secrets?
| Dave has three requirements that he is steadfast on… The first one requirement is very serious to him. You must agree never to share these secrets with anyone in any form. These recipes are ONLY for your own personal use. You must never disclose Dave’s secrets or transfer through digital email, or any other means the secrets contents of this DVD. If your friends want Dave’s secrets… they must purchase Dave’s secrets! Please feel free to share this website with them. |
| Dave’s second requirement is that you cannot use Dave’s secrets to start teaching your own BBQ Classes. My bbq secrets are the intellectual property of David W. Anderson. |
| Dave’s third requirement is that you can never start your own barbeque restaurant using Dave’s secret rib or sauce recipe. However, If you come up with your own recipes using the skills you learned from Dave…go ahead and go for it! |
| By ordering this DVD, you are agreeing to honor Dave’s requirements. Thank you for understanding why it is important for Dave to have these requirements. Its really the only way he can share with you his hard earned secrets for making the best tasting barbequed ribs in America! |
Dave’s traditional ribs and sauces are the real deal… down-home-traditional southern-style just like the championship pitmaster’s used to make way down in the deep south! Learn how to take lean meaty spareribs and hand rub’em with fresh ground spices, then smok’em real slow over smoldering hickory coals all day until the juicy succulent barbequed ribs are fallin’-off-the-bone tender. Next, you’ll learn how to slather up these tasty charred ribs with a tongue ticklin’ home made Bar-B-Que Sauce so tasty…you’ll end up being the talk of the town!

Greatest Tasting Barbequed Ribs
and The Best Sauce Ever…
–Duke, Illinois
For years, I have been buying books on grilling and barbeque to learn something that would elevate my being able to smoke great ribs. I too have traveled the country and have eaten ribs in some of the well known bbq joints… I have always been impressed with Famous Dave’s ribs. Your DVD contains a wealth of bbq secrets that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I can’t believe that I was able to make the greatest tasting barbequed ribs and the best sauce ever right on my own porch!

Living High on The Hog
–Mike, Lansing
Dave, you out did yourself! This is an amazing “how to” video that for the first time explains the secrets for making really great tasting ribs. Once we reviewed your DVD several times we also then got your cookbook- Famous Dave’s Backroads and Sidestreets to try out the side dishes. Last weekend, we made the ribs and invited over the neighbors since they were curious smelling the sweet hickory smoke that was wafting over the fence and now the whole neighborhood wants to know when we are firing up the grill again. The ribs and all the side dishes were a big hit and now we know first hand the meaning of “Living High On The Hog!”
