"A popular Houston barbecue truck is opening its first permanent spot on two acres near Katy Hockley Cut-Off and Clay Road, close to the Four Seasons baseball park. The rural site will feature a 1,500 sq. ft. barn-like dining room, an outdoor beer garden with park benches, a live-music stage, and a pond, designed to be kid-friendly for the after-game crowd. Run by Chef Randy Duncan and his wife Sylvia, the operation is built on a reputation for long lines and sellouts—Duncan, a Houston BBQ Throwdown champion, is known for a 14-hour smoked brisket that has been used in popular collaborations (including a brisket kolache at Glaze, brisket-topped pizza at The Pizza Shoppe, and dishes at Pappa Gyros, Proud Pie, and Texas Tradition). The menu at the new location will rotate about ten cuts of meat—examples include turkey, boudin, and ribs—sourced from Ruffino Meats in College Station, with sides and locally made bread and pickles; the spot will be BYOB initially and plans to serve beer on site. An opening was hoped for spring 2019." - Alaena Hostetter
