RouXbarb Restaurant Has New BBQ Luncheon Spot

KNOXVILLE -- East Tennessee BBQ lovers can look forward to an outstanding meal at The BBQ Shack at RouXbarb. This new BBQ experience is a creation of Chef Bruce Bogartz and is located behind his signature restaurant, RouXbarb, at 130 S. Northshore in Knoxville. Following Chef Bogartz's farm-to-table philosophy, many of the menu items at The BBQ Shack are bought from local farmers for the freshest flavor possible.

"Knoxville residents love BBQ, and The BBQ Shack is the perfect venue for me to sell the simple, unique, quality BBQ that I know to be best," Chef Bogartz said.  

Housed in a quaint shack with built-in smokers, The BBQ Shack is open from 11 am to 3 pm for lunch and catering orders. The menu includes smoked brisket, pork, ribs, bologna, chicken, and other meats available to the Chef that day. The sides vary each day, but could include smoked macaroni and cheese, homemade Bush's baked beans with brisket, cole slaw with vinegar and bleu cheese crumbles, and anything else appealing to Chef Bogartz's whim.

Freshly-made desserts include white chocolate banana pudding and seasonal fruit cobblers.

On any day, customers will find Chef Bogartz in the relaxed atmosphere of his new project, serving his specialties and wooing his customers with his big charm.  

"The greatest thing about The BBQ Shack is that we can actually take it to customers through the Knoxville area through our catering," Bogartz said. "Even if you cannot get to Bearden for lunch, we can bring the best BBQ in Knoxville to you!"
