Front Range Barbeque on West Colorado Avenue in Colorado Springs’s Old Colorado City neighborhood has been a Southern Colorado BBQ and Cajun-Creole institution since it opened, combining slow-smoked meats with the gumbo, jambalaya, and the Cajun-Creole cooking traditions that earn a Pikes Peak region restaurant its destination reputation in a market where this combination of BBQ and Louisiana cooking is genuinely distinctive. It appeared in Season 24, Episode 2 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Family Legacies,” which aired January 15, 2016. Guy Fieri found a Colorado Springs pit kitchen doing BBQ and Cajun-Creole food from scratch with the quality and family commitment that earns a neighborhood restaurant its loyal following.
