Canada's BBQ Champion Danielle Dimovski (Diva Q BBQ) travels the BBQ competition circuit to experience the best BBQ and win a few titles along the way. You may remember Diva Q BBQ when she stopped by the Bedford Blues and BBQ Festival in 2012, check out her new show and see the competition at the Bedford Blues and BBQ... and yes that is a quick shot of the mayor in the commercial.
