Woodpile BBQ Shack Will Bring Smoked Meats to Madison Heights in 2018 | Eater Detroit

"Co-founder Scott Moloney and partners Zac Idzikowski, Tim Idzikowski and Brandon Hannish purchased a 5,000-square-foot former VFW hall to serve as a combined commissary kitchen and suburban outpost. About 1,000 square feet will become a 40-seat restaurant with a carryout counter, while the rest centralizes sauce, side and catering production and will be outfitted with extra smokers for large events. The site was chosen for its convenient access to I-696 and I-75 and because the building already had good bones and an existing kitchen, which the team says should allow for a brisk buildout; they plan to keep smoking meat on-site at every restaurant and to staff each location with pit masters." - Brenna Houck
