Dixie's BBQ hot sauce, named "The Man"

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.

Gene Porter's death[edit]

Gene Porter died of cancer on February 28, 2010. His wife Dixie and daughter LJ continued to operate Dixie's.[3] until LJ died on February 2, 2011.[4] Dixie carried on the business in the original location until its closure on October 26, 2019.[5]
