That's just the way they do it. Their sauce is a coffee colored spicy sauce. Unique and very tasty.

Yep I ate there nearly every day while working during construction or ATT Town Pavilion used to set the pig statue out at entrance. The City forced them out of there with eminent domain and wouldnt let him be a part of the P&L district. The funny thing was the were their forever successfully yet all the original eateries have pulled out of P&L. It seems there was a Edwards in Waldo at one time to.

Actually I think it was called Jake Edwards BBQ in Waldo. Maybe a relation I dunnoActually Jake Edwards was Danny's father and the place by what is now Sprint was call Lil Jake's Eat It and Beat It named for Danny the son. Jake Edwards started a restaurant during the great depression and started his BBQ joint at 83rd and Wornall in the Waldo district.
