    Hickory BBQ & Grill Owner and Pit Master, Dale Lockwood is very proud to win the Grand Champion title and recieve two trophies by competing against 13 other “Ribbers” (some of the best BBQ-ers and vendors in Detroit).

    “Our ribs are prepared with a dry rub then slow smoked, and the BBQ sauce is sweet with a mild kick of spice at the end. I wanted to create something that is unique, something more than just a doctored-up version of some BBQ sauce you can buy off the shelf, and I believe cooking on a Quality Grill built in Detroit helped me to win” …Says Dale
