Hank’s Makes National BBQ List

COLUMBUS, Miss. (Press Release) — National Barbecue News, the world’s #1 publication dedicated to the sport of barbecue, released its updated guide of “Best of the Best Barbecue Restaurants in America” for the month of April. Hank’s Barbeque is on the April list and is one of only 3 restaurants named for the state of Mississippi. The “Best of the Best” guide has currently awarded this honor to only 28 barbecue restaurants across America in 2015.

“This award is a huge honor for our team.  We have competed on the national level, even competed on TV but this competition we couldn’t prepare for,” stated Vaiden, owner of Hank’s Barbeque, “With this award they judged us on what we do day in and day out in our restaurant – serve our customers the best BBQ around with a helping of good, Southern hospitality.”

To be eligible for the list, a restaurant must be taste-tasted, without notice or announcement, by an affiliate of the National Barbecue News. The honor is awarded for a one-year period, at which time the restaurant is re-tested in the same manner to see if they make the grade for the following year.

This award is in good company with the 100+ awards and trophies received by the Cotton Patch Cooking Crew headed by Hank Vaiden at BBQ competitions around the nation since 2000.  Vaiden was also featured on BBQ Pitmasters reality cooking series, airing on the Destination America Channel.

Hank’s Barbeque is available for dine-in, take out and catering events at 5809 Highway 45 North, Columbus, Mississippi, or call 662-327-4233.
