Hot damn, it’s grilling season. At my house we’ve fired up the grill a few times already this year, and I’m eagerly awaiting the christening of a new Big Green Egg at a friend’s house this upcoming weekend.
But sometimes nothing beats heading out and allowing yourself to be generously fed by the hands of seasoned barbeque professionals. I’ve been craving Fox Brothers something fierce lately (look at Bliss’ pictures of the Lopez!), but I’ve seen some other BBQ news recently that I’ve filed away for myself and would like to share.

It’s not the most recent news, Dusty’s Barbeque closed this past April. I really enjoyed this place, above average pulled pork, great hush puppies, and I always loved the piece of cracklin’ that came with a plate. You can still call in to their 215 Laredo Drive location for lunch to-go, and they still offer catering.
Todd Richards of One Flew South announced on his website that his restaurant group, Lush Life Group, will be taking over Rolling Bones on Edgewood. I’ve never been to Rolling Bones, but Chef Richards’ new menu has definitely caught my eye. There are some great new additions like soy & citrus marinated duck and a smoked trout sandwich with tomato corn relish on brioche. Chef Richard told me the new menu should roll out on June 15th.
I saw today on Daily Candy that DBA Barbeque is now open on Highland Avenue. There isn’t a full menu online, but they do mention that they will have all the usual suspects (pork, chicken, 15 sides), as well as a few not so common offerings like oysters and shrimp & grits.
Phew. I’m going to need hit the gym extra hard this summer.
