Phil and Janet Cobb you know from the Black-Eyed Pea chain (Phil's doing) and Mi Piaci (Janet), as well as some other once-famous stops. The name Chris Andrews is associated with Holy Smokes, a once well-regarded barbecue place. And then there's Dotty Griffith, former restaurant critic for The Dallas Morning News. All of these familiar names have come back to life and converged, like culinary zombies, on a small bit of real estate in Carrollton. The meat's pretty good. The names behind it are impressive as hell.
The worse barbecue I have ever tried. I was shocked because the lineage for this establishment should have guaranteed at least good barbecue. They tout a variety of barbecue styles bringing the best of the best but none of it works from the meats to the sad side dishes. Not sure where they went wrong but for me it was coming through the front door. If you are an investor, pull out now!
