Shane’s Rib Shack founder to appear on QVC

March 21, 2011

Shane’s Rib Shack founder and president, Shane Thompson, is scheduled to appear on QVCduring its new gluten-free culinary broadcast Eating Gluten Free – Food & Cookbooks on March 23 at 4 p.m. Eastern. Gluten-free hickory-smoked ribs made from Shane’s special recipe will be offered nationwide through QVC and QVC.com for approximately $67. The package (QVC Item #M25172) includes 4 one-pound slabs of pre-cooked ribs, a full size bottle of Shane’s Original gluten-free BBQ sauce and three make-at-home sauce recipes taken from “The Shane Family Grill Book.”

“We opened the Original Shane’s Rib Shack in 2002, in McDonough, Ga. As the company grew, we recognized that consumers' eating habits were also evolving, including awareness surrounding celiac disease and gluten-free product offerings,” Thompson said. “Our ability to offer a gluten-free menu that includes garden fresh salads, flame-grilled chicken tenders and traditional BBQ pork and chicken, enables us to appeal to a broader audience and makes choosing where to eat a little less challenging for families afflicted with celiac disease.”

According to Thompson, Shane’s Rib Shack will never veer from its traditional roots, which will always include signature slow-smoked ribs, hand-chopped pork and a variety of southern sides. However, the company is proud to offer its customers additional options with its extensive gluten-free menu.
