Smokecraft Modern Barbecue Is Coming
Last year, Andrew Darneille and his Smokecraft Championship Barbecue team snagged more than 70 awards on the festival circuit, including being named a “Pork Team of the Year” finalist by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.
Now the pitmaster/restaurateur is bringing his smoke-centric concept to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Clarendon in the former Citizen Burger Bar space. Smokecraft Modern Barbecue is set to open July 31, putting its industrial Southern Pride smokers to work in turning out meaty fare ranging from pork-belly burnt ends and cherry-smoked St. Louis ribs to wagyu brisket—plus a few vegetarian and pescatarian options, like smoked spaghetti squash, smoked Chesapeake crabcakes and cedar-planked maple-bourbon salmon.
