Loop 9 Might Be the Next Big Barbecue Chain Out of Texas - Eater Dallas

"Loop 9 is a new barbecue venture by Larry Lavine located in EpicCentral, Grand Prairie, Texas. It specializes in prime brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, and Meyer’s Elgin sausage. The pork ribs are particularly memorable with a Coca-Cola based rub. The restaurant offers barbecue sides like potato salad, elotes, pinto beans, and coleslaw. Desserts include key lime pie and banana cream pudding made from recipes developed by Lavine's wife. The design is no-frills, aiming to serve large crowds, and it is positioned to become a chain." - Courtney E. Smith
