Last week’s lunch run ended up getting a snafu, but in the best way possible. I left planning to visit one restaurant and ended up at the wrong place, but it led to discovering some great food.
I had a craving for some Texas barbecue and decided to finally visit Smoke Shack BBQ on Broadway. I’d driven past it countless times, going up and down the street, but had never stopped in for a bite. However, when I arrived, I realized I was in the wrong place. I was in Smoke Shack Delicatexan, the meat market and sandwich shop next door to the barbecue joint. Panicking, I ordered from the menu and was revived by the delicious hot meat presented to me. It wasn’t what I’d planned to order, but it rejuvenated me.
For those unfamiliar with the area, Smoke Shack BBQ sits at the corner of Broadway and Pershing Avenue, across the street from The Cottage Pub. The Delicatexan is only a few feet away, as is The Pigpen Neighborhood Bar, all of which are owned by restaurateur Chris Conger. Parking is a bit tight, but the corner is a trio of restaurants able to satisfy the hunger of every patron. If you’re visiting either restaurant, here’s what to know.
