The Dawgfather

Gold Winner Jerry “The Dawgfather” Reddick

Silver Winner The Grawood

Bronze Winner The Gorsebrook Lounge


Hot dawg! Jerry Reddick sure knows how to quell students’ stomach rumbles. More commonly known to Dalhousie students and staff as The Dawgfather, Reddick is considered by many as a fixture on campus. The hazy smoke of his barbeque draws a constant stream of customers to his small set-up outside the Student Union Building. One man and one grill perform all the magic: sizzling sausages, phat boys, veggie dawgs and burgers to be piled high with a wide assortment of toppings and drizzled in any number of mustards, ketchups and hot sauces. (Yes, those are plural.)
