Whether it's the Seahawks winning or something simpler like a project at work that's going well, I love ordering Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que as a bit of a celebration meal.

If I'm working late putting together a promo and I can tell already that it's going to be really good, I hit the Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que's website and order the country-roasted chicken plate. I pick it up to go and finish things up in the studio after that tasty hit of BBQ. I love knowing that I'm supporting a franchise that has been locally owned since 2001 (Bismarck since 2004).

Their pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a special blend of spices and cook them for hours in a live-wood smoker with genuine hickory logs. It's the process and spices champion pitmaster Famous Dave Anderson developed on the Ribfest circuit 20 years ago.

Famous Dave's offers a variety of BBQ sauce flavors; I like the Rich & Sassy flavor but I tend to pick up the Sweet & Zesty. Their signature St. Louis-style ribs are amazing, and I plan on trying their cheese curd burger soon. It's April's Burger of the Month, with (as Famous Dave's describes it): "a perfectly seasoned all-beef patty topped with American cheese, smokey bacon, golden cheese curds and cheese sauce on a toasted bun."

Their menu is made to satisfy everyone from a hungry DJ to a ravenous family or a bigger event. From burgers stacked with beef brisket and chopped pork sandwiches to family to-go meals and party platters, their menu is full of options. They have custom catering options, including vegetarian choices:

Now, is a perfect time to head to Famous Dave's where they are celebrating Customer Appreciation week through April 28 to thank customers for their support.

The fun doesn't end there. For the entire month of May, Famous Dave's will be celebrating National BBQ Month with daily prizes and gifts.

Of course you will want to get plenty of Famous Dave's food to share, especially if you are planning a graduation party or a summer get-together.

Famous Dave's can help you plan the menu for any size party or budget.

Oh, and the food really travels well in their disposable pans and containers. They show up with everything; the food, side dishes, even the plates and utensils. All you do is focus on your guests!
