Jackpot BBQ Surf-N-Turf


Chef Jonathan Henderson from The Barn Prime at 1st Jackpot Casino Tunica


About this dish:
I chose this BBQ take on a classic dish to highlight Memphis and the entire Midsouth region. This area is home to award-winning BBQ, and people travel from around the world just to get a taste.
My dish is a classic example of our desire to treat each guest to a unique and delicious dining experience. You are getting a one-of-a-kind meal that expresses our mid-south culture and our Delta roots.
