Well that doesn’t sound good.
i guess you never really know how an establishment is doing financially just from outside appearances… somehow from the widespread acclaim, the aesthetics associated with them having preorders through Tock (as opposed to one of the other online ordering companies e.g. foodbooking), and the pricepoint of their meats, i sort of assumed they would be making a killing…
more bad PR for horn bbq - this one seems a bit … ehh

Smoke reopens Saturday at the Longfellow Food Hall ghost ktichen.
Smoke did not reopen Saturday. The county did not approve using the smoker. Sounds like they’re going to look for another location.
Went back to Stay Gold. Brisket was very good and went perfectly with the wine. Beans and collards also very good. Cole slaw not bad. Ribs too trimmed.

Summary from Eater:
From Texas Monthly’s These Are the Best Texas-Style Barbecue Joints in America I learned about this halal Indonesian-Texan place in Alameda. Smoked brisket rendang, smoked brisket Sumatran noodle soup, beef dino ribs and back ribs, nasi goreng with corned beef. Open Saturday and Sunday, noon until sell out. Yelp reports waits of 1-2 hours.
