Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer Debut AC Barbeque
*Comedy and acting stars Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer have taken their love of food to the next level, officially opening their first restaurant, AC Barbeque, at the Westfield Century City Mall in Los Angeles. Known for their roles on hit TV shows like “black-ish” and “The Neighborhood,” the duo is now stepping into the culinary world with a barbecue spot that showcases their passion for great flavors and cultural celebration, LA’s ABC7 is reporting.
“This is something that was culturally part of who we are,” Cedric shared at the ribbon-cutting event. “We love the idea of celebration, food, fun, people coming together.” Anderson added, “We needed to do it, just so there were faces like us representing the Barbeque brand itself.”
Customers Celebrate Flavor and Representation
The grand opening drew excited fans and food lovers eager to taste the menu, which features beef, pulled pork, chicken, and classic barbecue sides. Michael Jay, one attendee, said, “It’s very nice to order from two guys I grew up watching. And in this mall, there’s not too many men of color representing, so for them to be here is extra surreal.”
Young diner King Moore chimed in with his food advice: “You have to get the side of mac and cheese, and then after that you gotta get the bottle of the barbecue sauce and then you’re all right.” Rema Mays, another guest, came out to support the duo and looked forward to “well-cooked barbecue and real good, delicious sauce.”
What’s on the AC Barbeque Menu?
AC Barbeque’s offerings include secret family recipes, though Anthony Anderson humorously noted, “We don’t want any of my mama’s recipes on our menu! Grand opening? Grand closing!” While the food might get messy — Cedric jokes that you need to hold your barbecue at a 90-degree angle to protect your outfit — fans are ready to dive into the delicious plates and signature sauces.
The duo hopes to expand AC Barbeque nationwide, but for now, their Los Angeles location is the start of what could become a beloved new barbecue empire. Whether you’re a fan of their comedy or just love good barbecue, AC Barbeque promises a flavorful, fun-filled dining experience.
AC Barbeque’s Vision: Expanding a Culinary Legacy Nationwide
While AC Barbeque has just opened its doors in Los Angeles, Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer are already looking ahead to bigger goals. The celebrity duo hopes to turn their passion project into a national brand, bringing their signature barbecue flavors and cultural flair to cities across the country.
“This is just the start,” Cedric said. “We want to bring AC Barbeque to neighborhoods everywhere, where people can gather, laugh, and enjoy great food together.” With their combined star power, loyal fan base, and dedication to quality, Anderson and Cedric aim to build not just a restaurant chain, but a culinary legacy rooted in community and celebration.
