Sactown Hmong BBQ launched in 2019, serving as a pick-up and catering business out of Her’s home. Described as a “hottest home-based business in the 916,” Sactown Hmong BBQ served large plates of barbecued meat ranging from $11 to $28, depending on the dish. For example, a full rack of ribs sold for $30, while a half rack was around $15. The same menu will carry over to the restaurant.
