BBQ is not culinary arts, its a sport! About this Adventure...

BBQ is not cooking or culinary arts...it’s a sport and adventure! Cheers!

Big Ed's Q Shed adventurously offers BBQ classes, craft BBQ sauces and catering in the authentic traditions of the Carolina, Memphis, Kansas City and Texas styles and explores Cajun, creole, and NOLA cuisines. Welcome to Big Ed’s Shed…Big Ed’s Shed is a authentic BBQ styled after traditional southern BBQ, with a focus on the Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee (Memphis) styles of BBQ, and a nod to the

Kansas City and Texas traditions. Big Ed’s Shed is led by Dave Fako to pursue his passion for casual and quality food, especially BBQ. Big Ed’s Shed is named in honor of Dave’s late Father, Ed (Big Ed) Fako, a truck driver who enjoyed life to the fullest. The Shed is an ode to him and good food everywhere. Big Ed’s Shed focuses on BBQ in the authentic style of southern roadside BBQ shacks, with an interesting twist toward the “craft” of unique, quality BBQ. Big Ed’s Shed explores the traditions in the Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee (Memphis) styles, with a nod to the Kansas City and Texas traditions. We’ll also explore other culinary ventures such as Mexican, southwestern, Cajun, Eastern European and coastal seafood. Join our adventure in the sport of BBQ and enjoy some of Big Ed’s favorites.

Thank you to everyone who adventurously explored the National Bigfoot Day Market at Folklore Coffee in Lemont Downtown.

Under the watchful eye of an elusive cryptid we adventurously served our award winning Texas Chili, Famous All Hallows Eve Pumpkin Soup and also sampled and sold our craft BBQ Sauces.

Next time we'll make more Chili and Soup as we sold out and sold out of our sauces too...

And we now can say we saw Bigfoot!

Plus Archie paid us a visit too!😀

Thank you to Folklore Coffee for inviting us and hosting the fun event!
