Back 40 BBQ expands menu, plans to open food trailer

Back 40 BBQ has expanded beyond smoked pretzels, adding barbecue, smoked cream cheese dips and plans for a food trailer heading into 2027. The family-owned business — run by Ryan DeCheney, his wife Holly, and their children Kaylin and Lily — has grown since a previous feature in July. The idea formed after a friend asked DeCheney whether he'd ever smoked hard pretzels. A lifelong passion for cooking (and a smoker he'd purchased the previous year) encouraged experimentation. The result was Back 40 BBQ, which recently released a holiday cranberry orange pretzel blend, adding to existing flavors garlic parmesan, maple bourbon and white cheddar jalapeno. The business also unveiled two smoked cream cheese dips (caramel apple pie and jalapeno popper) and had a soft launch during an event by Zomburgers. “The goal has always been to serve food,” DeCheney told The Sentinel. “That's my passion." The business now has a tent to serve chicken, pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, macaroni and cheese, maple bourbon coleslaw and more. The company caters events and offers corporate gift boxes.

Allegan County eatery cited for 'many' leaks in kitchen ceiling

Each month, the Allegan County Health Department inspects restaurants, schools and other facilities for unsafe food practices. Adhering to proper safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and promoting public health. ACHD recently completed an online portal for viewing reports, available at allegancounty.org/health/environmental-health/food . The Sentinel is sharing "priority" violations — those that could "directly lead to contamination of food or increase the risk of transmitting a foodborne illness" — from Holland, Hamilton, Saugatuck, Douglas and Fennville in the month of October, as well as corrective measures taken. The Sentinel will also report on "priority foundation" violations — ones that could lead to a priority violation. The health department notes "core" violations, but The Sentinel will only report on those if there's a significant accumulation in a single eatery or if that eatery also has more serious violations. Spectators Sports Bar and Grill 6432 Blue Star Highway in Saugatuck Priority The restaurant was using the wrong sanitizer to clean prep tables and the slicer.
