A Well-Deserved Honor
Carving her niche in the BBQ world, Desiree Robinson from Cozy Corner BBQ Memphis TN secured her spot in the Barbecue Hall of Fame. This esteemed accolade annually celebrates three individuals, recognizing thier significant contributions to the barbecue landscape.
An Esteemed Award Ceremony
In an event full of prestige, Melissa Cookston, a 2017 Hall of Fame member, handed over the award to Robinson. She expressed, “Robinson embodies the BBQ spirit,” emphasizing the significance of this grand occasion.
Pandemic’s Unfortunate Impact

Legacy Lives On
Initially founded by Desiree and Raymond Robinson in August 1977, Cozy BBQ faced a critical juncture after Raymond’s passing in 2001.

Now, the torch has passed to Desiree’s grandsons Bobby and Sean, along with daughter Val, who expertly manage the daily operations.
