Incredible Texas style BBQ is being served out of a popup in the parking lot of a defunct Long John Silver’s 🍽
Welcome to Tuesday. It's James.
These guys are selling out of ribs within hours of opening, and I think buzz is going to grow and grow during their three month run.
If you're always looking for the new hotness, or you just love bbq, you'll want to check out Chelsea's run down on the deal with this place that's operating out of the parking lot of a shut down Long John Silver's.
