Brittani Bo Baker (born 1985) is the managing partner with her father, former National Football League (NFL) football player Al “Bubba” Baker, of their restaurant Bubba’s-Q World Famous BBQ & Catering in Avon, Ohio.[1][2]
In 2006 Brittani and Al patented[3] Bubbas's Boneless Ribs, a product and process for removing bones from an intact slab of ribs, making it possible for people to eat fully cooked deboned BBQ ribs with a knife and fork – this is not a reshaped patty. The co-inventors' patented product was featured on ABC’s show Shark Tank (December 2013)[4] where the father-daughter team partnered with branding expert and FUBU creator Daymond John. Brittani is the vice president of the company formed through the partnership with Daymond John.[5]
In 2012 Brittani published a cookbook,[6] Al Bubba Baker's Simple Southern Cookbook,[7] featuring simplified southern family recipes. She created the cookbook to honor her father. The book also includes Sports illustrated articles, cooking tips and NFL action shots of her father during his football career.[8]
Baker often helps the homeless and less fortunate in the Cleveland area.[9] For her 29th birthday, she hosted and fed almost 100 homeless men at Bubba’s-Q Restaurant in Avon, Ohio.[10][11]
Baker serves as a board member for Lutheran Metropolitan Ministries Social Enterprise, which helps former homeless people learn the necessary skills to gain and maintain jobs in the culinary arts field.
Brittani has also been seen on QVC[12] with her father on the show In the Kitchen with David starring David Venable.[13]
