Receta Mission BBQ and Charm City Cakes are cooking up something for Veterans Day

by Jessica Lemmo

Leisure Food & Drink Restaurants November 8, 2013 MISSION BBQ, known for its traditional American BBQ with a hefty side of patriotism, will partner with renowned Charm City Cakes to thank, honor, and salute our country’s veterans and active military personnel on Veterans Day, November 11. Baltimore-based Charm City Cakes will specially-create four WWII Memorial replication cakes (one for each MISSION BBQ location), standing approximately three feet wide, and serving 300-400 slices each. A dedicated World War II Veteran will cut the first slice of cake at each restaurant following a live rendition of the National Anthem. In addition, MISSION BBQ will serve complimentary turkey, pork, and brisket sandwiches along with a slice of cake to all veterans and active military all day, starting at noon, while supplies last. “We are honored to team up with Charm City Cakes and tip our hats to all of our American Heroes this Veterans Day,” says MISSON BBQ co-owner Bill Kraus. “Freedom isn’t free. These brave men and women protect, serve, and save our country and this is our opportunity to thank them for all that they have done.” Keeping with its mission to “Proudly Serve Those Who Serve,” MISSION BBQ will open its first location outside of Maryland in York, Pennsylvania in mid-November, bringing its total number of restaurants to five. The patriotic fast-casual BBQ restaurant continues to rapidly expand throughout the Mid-Atlantic with a targeted goal of opening 40 restaurants nationwide by 2018. About Mission BBQ: MISSION BBQ first opened its doors on September 11, 2011, on the tenth anniversary of the day that changed the world forever. Owners Bill Kraus and Steve Newton opened the restaurant with a mission to give back to American Heroes, who protect, serve and save. They traveled across the country, from Texas to Kansas City, to the Carolinas and St. Louis to master America’s greatest contribution to culinary arts: BBQ! A few favorite menu items include Bay-B-Back Ribs; North Carolina Pulled Pork; and Jalapeno and Cheese Sausage. Each MISSION BBQ location supports and donates proceeds to numerous military charities including the Wounded Warrior Project, USO, Toys for Tots and the Honor Flight Network, as well as the many local police, fire and first responder charities in each of their communities. Every day, at exactly 12 noon, the entire restaurant halts to honor our country by saluting the flag, standing at attention and singing our National Anthem. MISSION BBQ offers customized catering for parties of all sizes, small and large, and has an authentic deuce and half military truck outfitted with a fully operational smoker that can roll in and feed your army.

About Charm City Cakes: Charm City Cakes was founded in 2002 by Chef Duff Goldman, an innovative and boundary-pushing baker. The Baltimore based establishment’s popularity grew and Duff and staff were approached by the Food Network to star in Ace of Cakes. The show ran for ten seasons in six years and is still wildly popular not only in reruns, but in over 40 countries worldwide. The twice nominated James Beard Foundation baker expanded the business in 2011 with a west coast shop, Charm City Cakes West, in Los Angeles, California.
