JACKSON, Miss., July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer is prime grilling season, and Newk's is celebrating all things BBQ with "Q" Fest, featuring delicious limited-time menu items and a barbecue-lovers "Sauce Boss" giveaway.

"Q" Fest centers on Newk's signature white BBQ sauce, a creamy, tangy, mayonnaise-based recipe developed by Newk's co-founder Don Newcomb. The unique sauce, inspired by Alabama-style white sauce, is handmade in-house daily and brings on the flavor with apple cider vinegar, horseradish and a secret seasoning blend.

In addition to barbecue, strawberries are at their peak season in summer. Newk's signature strawberry cake, handmade and baked fresh in Newk's bakery, is the perfect ending to a "Q" Fest meal.

"Barbecue has been a staple in the South for years, so it was only a matter of time before we celebrated it with our Newk's family through 'Q' Fest," said Newk's co-founder Chris "Newk" Newcomb. "With fresh new offerings, enjoying a summer barbecue with friends and loved ones has never been easier."

In addition to the new limited-time menu items, Newk's is hosting a barbecue-themed giveaway at www.NewksSauceBoss.com, named in honor of the famous white BBQ sauce.
