Evans described the partnership with Hidden Valley Orchards as "a match made in heaven."

"Everything that I envisioned for Dayton Barbecue Company to be ... this place embodies it. From the way that the building is set up to the vibe and feeling of everything here. This is what Dayton Barbecue Company is all about," Evans said.
