Kelly Walker is known for cooking with soul and passion. His secret recipe BBQ sauce is finger licking with a tasty twang. The smoking process is a mastering only Kelly can deliver!

 

He moved to Ledyard in 1999; back then, he owned Brittany's Southern Cuisine in New London. For the past 15 years he and his wife Sandra have been cooking out of the food truck at festivals and events like the Essex Hot Steamed Jazz Festival, British by the Sea at Harkness and the Ledyard Fair.

 

"It's finger-lickin' good," said Michelle Hinton, who remembers Kelly's BBQ at the Ledyard fair this summer. "You'll need a lot of napkins."

People may be ignoring the building now but the smokey aroma wafting from the food truck soon to be parked there will lure people in by their noses.

Kelly said he learned to cook from his mother and from lots of trial and error but, he said, cooking BBQ is a labor of love.

 

Kelly said he smokes beef in the BBQ pit for 12 hourse at least.
