Fun BBQ Facts!

2009-05-28T14:37:00.001-07:00

Barbecues have been a White House tradition since Thomas Jefferson.

BBQ is no longer a male dominated activity. While 51% of males cha-cha with the charcoal, 49% of women flamenco with the flames.

The original barbecue sauce, dating back hundreds (yes, hundreds) of years is Vinegar and Pepper.

The National Barbecue Association designates each May annually to celebrate and promote all things BBQ with “MAY IS NATIONAL BARBECUE MONTH !”

So come on down to Slope's before National Barbecue Month is over!

Rainy day

2009-03-27T12:57:00.001-07:00

Today it rained, so lunch was strange and unpredictable. These are the days when you can stand in line and hear a customer ask, " What's the difference between pork and chicken?".

Please remember when it rains to come to Slope's and pay attention, you won't want to miss a question like that.
