The Queen City Roll

For Super Bowl Sunday I made my own variation of the infamous bacon logs we've been seeing online a lot lately. Pepper cured bacon from Kroeger and Sons at Findlay Market with their Southern Sausage and some Pepperjack cheese with the Rendevous dry rub and Stubbs original BBQ sauce. Heres some pics.
