Backfire BBQ set to open Monday in the Legends

Get your motor running and get out of the driveway — Backfire BBQ cranks it up in the Legends on Monday, December 7, at 7 p.m. for a Grand Opening Party.

It’s biker theme is the vision of Steven Schussler — the restaurateur behind Rainforest Cafe and T-Rex Cafe —  built around the Orange County Choppers brand. The motorcycle company’s founder, Paul Teutel Sr., is slated to help kick-start the festivities on Monday. He’s also said to be bringing the film crew from his family’s hit reality show, American Chopper.

The experience at the 9,000-square-foot restaurant will begin with the two custom built choppers rotating on top of two water fountains outside. The blue neon signage continues into the interior, with dimmer switches to mute the lights. With 14 flat-screen televisions and close to $1 million in NASCAR and motorcycle memorabilia, there’s a lot to see once you’re inside.
