Western Sizzlin was founded in 1962, in Augusta, GA, by Nick Pascarella. Nick discovered a unique way of grilling steaks. He used a special steak seasoning called Gold Dust®, and a special process of grilling the bottom and top of the steaks simultaneously; thus, our FlameKist® steak was born! This unique process locks in the flavor as the steak is seared to a savory perfection.
