The Smoke Shop BBQ - East Boston

The Mushroom Shop Will Open in Somerville in 2022 | Eater Boston

"A chef-owned barbecue concept from Andy Husbands, the operation has expanded beyond its Cambridge roots to include a fast-casual outpost at Hub Hall in the Hub on Causeway development by TD Garden while maintaining full-service restaurants in Kendall Square, Harvard Square, Assembly Row and Fort Point. Additional growth continues with a planned full-service location at Clippership Wharf—featuring three patios, takeout and catering—and another East Boston spot expected by summer 2022. The menu emphasizes competition-style, slow-cooked barbecue, highlighting award-winning brisket and ribs, burnt ends and Texas hot links, reflecting Husbands's decades of practice and pitmaster credentials." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
