Famous Dave's is a publicly traded chain, symbol DA-VE, with a market cap about $79 million. 182 (52 company owned, 130 franchised) restaurants in 37 states. It's trading around $9.80, with .82 EPS for 2010. Red Hot & Blue seems to be in a few states, they don't seem to be public. Tony Roma's is worldwide, but again, I think it's privately held. Most of the other BBQ chains seem to be local. There is The Cookhouse in CT, and they had three locations, but now they're down to one, which is a shame since their stuff was terrific, especially for up in the northeast. There's certainly plenty of room for more chains in this specialty.
