The recipes and techniques used at GQue BBQ have been battle-tested in state, regional and national barbecue contests all over the country. Ganahl, a Kansas City native, joined the Kansas City Barbecue Society in 2009 as a judge and then began competing with his own recipes in 2011, earning many awards for his ribs, brisket, pork and chicken before launching a restaurant under the same name as his competitive team.

GQue BBQ's championship ribs and other smokehouse meats will soon be available in Lone Tree.

Bringing Ganahl’s Midwest sensibilities and love for ice cream, the new location at Park Meadows will also include an ice cream shop called the Ice Cream Farm. Based on the premise that dairy from Colorado cows make the best ice cream, the Ice Cream Farm will source milk and cream from Longmont Dairy. Ice cream will be churned on site, with flavors such as pancakes and syrup, cherry vanilla, and strawberry honey balsamic.
Shakes, malts, cones, sundaes, a range of topping and ice cream sandwiches will also be on the menu of frozen treats, and the shop will make its own waffle cones and cookies on site. Like the original Westminster smokehouse, the Park Meadow outpost will offer catering for special events and parties, and customers will be able to add ice cream and ice cream cakes to their group orders.
Mark your calendars for November, and bring your appetite.
