Jabo's son, Dwight, now known as "Jabo", continues this legend in Denver Colorado that he started back in 1992.
Jabo has created his own touch to this Shreveport Louisianna based recipe painstakingly taught to him by his father, the original Jabo, to include several tantalizing flavors of sauce and his own dry rub creation. Everything being made from scratch.
Pit Master and chef for over 60 years.
