Eddie Deen has been serving his famous Dallas-based barbecue at events all over the country for more than 30 years. The entire menu is rave-worthy but the sauce alone has given Deen some pretty heavy bragging rights. Per the Eddie Deen’s Ranch website, his “signature Bar-B-Q sauce has a historical significance. The sauce was chosen at four gubernatorial and two presidential inaugurations.” Deen served more than 20,000 guests in 2001 and 2005 at both Presidential Inaugural Balls for George W. Bush. He also plated up his ‘cue at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake Cit, and fed more than 100,000 evacuees after Hurricane Katrina.
