American Ice Company

"The Shaw staple’s menu got a meaty makeover last year, which includes an order of must-try wings in buffalo or black pepper varieties. Chef Adam Campbell also turns to his smoker skills to prepare luscious brisket. H2 Collective’s Chinatown sibling Crimson Whiskey Bar also does bourbon-smoked wings justice." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb, Travis Mitchell

"There’s no reservation or ticket required to partake in American Ice Company’s annual July 4th Crab Crack. At the first come, first serve event, steamed crabs just delivered from the Maryland shore will be available in dozen or half-dozen portions. Crab-friendly sides include hush puppies, corn on the cob, and swachos. Open at noon until the crabs run out. PBR buckets are $25 and pickleback shots are $9." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"The pulled pork “swatchos” at this beer and barbecue bar continue to please the crowds. The shareable portion smothers chips and pulled pork with white queso and tops it all with sweet pickled jalapenos. A vegetarian variety comes with veggie chili." - Tajha Lanier, Travis Mitchell

"Perfect for large groups, American Ice’s patio is welcoming patrons for the Derby. Guests can look forward to a roasted whole pig alongside Southern delicacies like macaroni salad, baked beans, cornbread, and more. The deal costs $25 for all-you-can-eat, and $25 more for unlimited Narragansett beers. Additional plates include swachos, veggie swachos, and while the race isn’t on, live bluegrass music by local band 15 Strings." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"The scene: A rusty, old-school ice house vibe with a busy front patio and draft beers served in glass jars. What to order: Pulled pork and queso “swachos,” pickles" - Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
