Sloppy Mama's BBQ

Owners of Sloppy Mama’s, Republic Cantina Are Building a Bar in Capitol Hill | Eater DC

"Over the past six years, Sloppy Mama’s has built a loyal customer base for its Southern delicacies: pitmaster Joe Neuman and his wife and business partner Mandy ran the operation out of a truck, a pop-up at U Street bar Solly’s, and food-hall stalls at Union Market and Ballston Quarter before consolidating operations into a restaurant inside a converted Pizza Hut building in Arlington. The team has regularly appeared in the Washington Post’s annual top-10 barbecue rankings, earning high marks for its chopped pork, homemade sausage, and pickles." - Gabe Hiatt
