When Guy Fieri pulled the red Camaro into Temecula, California, he wasn’t expecting to find one of the most creative BBQ dishes he’d ever encountered. But that’s exactly what happened at HoBo’s BBQ, a smokehouse that’s been rewriting the rules on what barbecue can be.
BBQ Lasagna: The Dish That Stopped Guy in His Tracks
Forget everything you think you know about lasagna. At HoBo’s BBQ, they layer smoked brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and baked beans between pasta sheets, then top it all with a tangy BBQ sauce. When Guy took the first bite, his reaction said it all — this is the kind of creative cooking that makes Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives worth watching.
What Makes HoBo’s BBQ Special
Located in Southern California’s wine country, HoBo’s BBQ has built a loyal following with their low-and-slow smoked meats. The brisket is smoked for 14+ hours, the ribs fall off the bone, and the sides are all made from scratch. But it’s the creative dishes like the BBQ lasagna and their loaded baked potatoes that set them apart from the pack.
