"After a four year journey of dishing out his smoked meats in temporary locations — as a food truck at Finn’s Manor and then as a pop-up — pitmaster Karl Fallenius has finally opened his permanent space in RiNo, dishing out what is consistently praised as some of “Denver’s best barbecue.” After stints at high-volume Texas joints like Franklin Barbecue and Blue Ox Barbecue, Fallenius brings his no-shortcuts approach to an 18-seat, counter-service restaurant on Larimer Street. Guests can dig into all the smokey, sustainable meat favorites — pulled pork, spare ribs, Texas-style brisket, and pastrami specials — and grab classic sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and pinto beans." - Rebecca Treon, Eater Staff, Nisa Sedaghat
