You used to have to follow Smoking Kow BBQ around the city to grab a bite of its locally famous barbecue. Up until April, the business consisted solely of two food trucks. But last month, its owners branched out and opened up a permanent brick-and-mortar location on Duke Street.

Swing by the new Smoking Kow BBQ location to dig into a platter or sandwich featuring the signature chopped brisket, pulled pork or chicken, or smoked jalapeno-cheddar sausage. Devour the mac 'n meat, a bowl of spicy, garlicky mac and cheese loaded with any of the meats you like except for the ribs or wings. And if you're craving a specialty sammy, try El Pollo Loco, a pile of pulled chicken with pickled red onion, provolone cheese, and chipotle aioli packed inside of a brioche bun.
