Bushwood BBQ Sandwiches

We've finally been spreading the word about Chris' new project.  A good friend of his here in Baton Rouge, Justin, wanted to open a BBQ restaurant. This spawned from the BBQ team that Justin and Chris are on that competed in Memphis In May for the past few years.  Justin has been working on this  idea for the past year and asked Chris to come on board to help out with ideas and recipe generation.  Chris ran with it and spent the last few months creating sauces and rubs and other menu items.  He's worked so hard and I'm so proud!!  Finally, the restaurant was ready to open about 3 weeks ago.  It is a strictly a sandwich place with the hopes of drawing a wide variety of customers.  It uses a giant smoker out back to slowly smoke the meat.  So this is authentic BBQ!!  Everybody in Baton Rouge knows you can't get authentic BBQ here.  It is really amazing the vision that Justin had and how he was able to make it happen.  It's been really interesting to watch.  So, next time you're in Baton Rouge, come visit Bushwood BBQ Sandwiches.  Or, hopefully soon, there will be one in your area!

  1. That is so cool! And "The Holeman" is on the menu! Haha! I love it! I'm going to have to at least send Jeremy there, since he gets to go out for lunch almost every day. Being from the Memphis area, we love us some BBQ - pulled pork sandwich style! :)
