Get served: Bubba's Q

If there’s one thing every NFL lineman knows other than football, it's food. Consider it a necessity of the trade. But while they certainly consume enough of it to maintain their portly girth, are they familiar with a level of quality that would appease the common diner?

In the case of former Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Al “Bubba” Baker, the answer is a resounding yes. The southern-style BBQ he grills up at Bubba’s Q in Avon is among the best you’ll find in Northeast Ohio—with portions befitting even the hungriest of NFL appetites.
