Barbecue has a wide appeal with over 95 percent of Americans saying that they like barbecue, and nearly one-third saying that they eat barbecue
or barbecue-sauced foods in any given week. The popularity of BBQ has translated into $2.9 billion worth of sales for this niche segment
of the U.S. restaurant industry, with BBQ restaurant sales growing nearly double that of the overall industry in 2014.
