CHRISTOPHER W. BELK
Founder / Owner
Born and raised in the South, Christopher Belk has always had a dream to open a unique BBQ restaurant. Traveling across the country working with restaurants in his previous job has led Belk to create a new concept, Saucehouse BBQ. Saucehouse offers a fast casual experience where the customer can customize their order while walking down a serving line. Being able to try multiple types of BBQ and sauces reflecting different preferences popular across the country is what makes us unique. As stated, “we want this to be a fun concept for our guests where they can try different types of sauces and styles of BBQ each time they visit us.” A long time Bulldawg and University of Georgia graduate, Belk couldn’t be happier than to open this unique experience in his favorite town Athens, GA.
