Seattle’s Lady Jaye Barbecue Is Pivoting to Sandwiches | Eater Seattle

"One of Seattle’s best barbecue places is getting out of the barbecue game: later this month, West Seattle’s Lady Jaye is converting into a sandwich shop, leaving behind its entree-and-sides formats to focus on “over-the-top handhelds” like a wagyu smash burger, a meatball sub, and the “Hot Beef.” “We wanted to take everything we’ve learned in six years of running Lady Jaye and put it into something more fun, more approachable, and honestly, more Seattle,” co-owner Evan Carter said. “People know us for wagyu and for meat, but not everyone is able to afford a $50 filet mignon steak. Now, we’re putting the Lady Jaye stamp on sandwiches, the kind you crave, the kind you come back for.” In other words, they’re moving toward something more affordable, with the current version’s last day on Sunday, October 12, and the new “Lady Jaye 4.0” opening on October 22." - Harry Cheadle
