Pork Barrel BBQ Restaurant Coming to Del Ray Neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia

Coming soon to an adorable, yuppie neighborhood near … me: a new BBQ restaurant!

Pork Barrel BBQ, an award-winning sauce and dry rub company, was born right here in the Beltway, but their founders Heath and Brett were raised in my home state of Missouri. In his day job capacity, Heath and I worked together very briefly on getting a contribution from a Missouri politician I respect in the magazine I managed about a year and a half ago. (Sorry folks. Can’t name names. No politics on the food blog!)

Come to think of it, Frank works with the brother-in-law of the other half of this BBQing duo, too. It’s a small world after all!

Stay tuned for updates as we receive them about the restaurant’s opening.
