Regionally-Inspired Barbecue Menus

City Barbeque Just Kicked Off its Flavors of America Road Trip

— May 7, 2023 — Lifestyle
City Barbeque is inviting consumers to take a trip across the South and sample some of the world's best barbeque dishes with a new virtual BBQ road trip challenge called the 'Flavors of America Road Trip.'

The Flavors of America Road Trip is a new menu made up of five regionally inspired menu items from some of the best barbeque states. The new menu includes a stop in South Carolina for the Carolina Goldmine Sandwich, a stop in Missouri for Crispy Fried Ribs, and visits to Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama for the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, the Texas-Style Sausage Sandwich, and the Pulled Chicken Sandwich with 'Bama Sauce. City Rewards members who purchase all five of the road trip item will automatically receive an offer for $10 off a future order. Plus, a lucky 500 people will be randomly selected to receive a limited-edition City Barbeque hat and keychain.

Of course, like any good road trip, this menu won't be around for long.
