The Dallas-based family-run barbecue franchise specialises in slow-smoked meats, including ribs and brisket, and sides such as mac ’n’ cheese and creamed spinach.

Taking on the first Aussie franchise will be a Cinnabon Australia director Richa Goyal, who plans to bring the offering to Brisbane mid next year at a yet-to-be-disclosed location.
