q39 In the Community

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we partner with André’s Chocolates to prepare a feast fit for a queen featuring the ultimate BBQ-lovers quiche. The great minds of Pastry Chef and Chocolatier Rene Bollier and our Executive Chef Philip Thompson came together to create the original hit, the Brisket Quiche. Learn more about it here.

As we all know, KC BBQ pairs perfectly with locally crafted beer. Local brewery Casual Animal focuses on quality over quantity and puts the interests of our community at the forefront. We host a four-course dinner featuring specifically paired beer from Causal Animal. Learn more here.

This August, we partnered with Mayor Quinton Lucas (mayor Q) to celebrate his 39th birthday. During his birthday month, we added his favorite special sandwich to our menu, a Brisket Grilled Cheese. All proceeds from the sale of “The Mayor ‘Q’ 39”  were donated to Corey’s Network to fund their mission of providing immediate services, support and advocacy for surviving victims of homicide in the KC Metro.
