Preparing for the Q For several years, Chris worked in local BBQ restaurants, serving as an apprentice to BBQ artisans. In his spare time, he experimented on family and friends with meats and sauces, combining the best of each of his BBQ memories. Chris remembers, "From the beginning we wanted to stay true to what we consider to be the real-deal BBQ. Each area of the country has its own style and we wanted different styles of Q to remind people of their hometown BBQ joints." Time to Share the Magic With their recipes perfected, Nick and Chris were ready to share the magic. Nick stopped racing and Chris quit his job...together they converted a garage on the corner of Monaco & Leetsdale into the first Brothers BBQ restaurant. Their hard work and commitment to providing every guest with the best food and best service quickly earned them the title, "Denver's Best BBQ". Hearing a customer say, "This wasn't good, it was great...definitely not what I expected!" still makes Nick smile. Brothers BBQ has been recognized by Westword, 5280 Magazine, The Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, and several other local media as having "the best Q in Denver AND the state of Colorado...". They are also the current reigning champion of Denver's "Blues 'n Bones" BBQ contest having won three years in a row. Brothers BBQ Today Ten years later, Brothers has grown from one restaurant with zero employees to eight restaurants with over 100 employees. Chris remembers their original goal: "To change the face of BBQ." Just ten years later, they appear to have done that and more! The awards and accolades keep coming in and Brothers BBQ continues to serve the Best BBQ in Denver!
