Dixie's BBQ was a barbecue restaurant in Bellevue, Washington. It was known for its hot sauce, "The Man," and bumper stickers throughout the area which read, "Have you met The Man?"[1] It was opened in 1994 by Dixie and Gene Porter,[2] who had lived in the Seattle area for 30 years, working as a nurse and a mechanic, respectively.
