CONWAY — Big Dave’s Bagels & Deli over the past 13 years has made quite a name for itself, as New York-transplant owners Sue and Dave Hausman, along with their dedicated staff, have garnered a lot of attention for their delectable food and support for community causes, with Hausman and Co. even appearing on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” on the Food Network in 2022.
A man with a big heart to go along with his big frame, Hausman is giving back in a different way over the next month as one of 11 statewide Best Buddy Champions who are competing to raise the most funds for the Best Buddies of New Hampshire.
