Southern barbecue is noted as a craft developed over and passed down through many generations. The meat is cooked over slow burning coals or fragrant woods such as hickory or pecan. Add some baked and fried sides and you've got what we Southerners call soul food. But authentic barbecue soul food doesn't have to exist only in the South. Big Dan moved all the way from Alabama to bring your favorite soul food dishes right here to the Palm Springs area.
