Robert and Dianne Culpepper both enjoy cooking for family members and friends. It was through these joyous experiences that they both gained a love and appreciation for all types of food. Their passion for good cuisine continued to expand as they began to experiment with smoked meats. Robert and Dianne would try different recipes until they realized that they had something really special. The two Michigan natives were living in Napoleon,Ohio and decided to drive their trailer around town spreading happiness with their delicious dinners and their homemade side dishes. After seeing much success in Napoleon and winning the county fair competition for Sauce of the Year for their "All-Purpose Sauce", they elected to spread the same joy and happiness with the city they both love so much: DETROIT, MI.
