Years ago, KUDU founder and Georgia-native, Stebin Horne, fell in love with a woman from South Africa. After traveling to the country to meet her family, he quickly found himself falling in love with his future wife, as well as South Africa’s age-old traditions. Inspired by South Africa’s communal, homemade braais, where family and friends would gather around an open flame to cook, eat, and socialize, he dreamed of sharing a slice of South African culture with his loved ones in America. With a strong desire and a clear vision, Stebin spent the following years dedicated to developing, engineering, testing and forming partnerships in an effort to turn his vision into a reality. In 2016, The KUDU Open Fire Grill was born to create a communal experience for cooking, serving and enjoying delicious food over an open flame.
