This is the kickoff weekend for Brew City Biscuits, a pop-up that will happen each Saturday-Sunday through Sept. 6 at the Third Ward BBQ restaurant Smoke Shack (332 N. Milwaukee St.).
The pop-up focuses on breakfast sandwiches made on a scratch-made biscuit. The menu – created by Alex Sazama, the executive chef of Smoke Shack’s parent company, Hospitality Democracy (which also operates AJ Bombers, Onesto, Holey Moley and other businesses) – features 10 sandwiches, including the Snoozie McGee ($10.50) with waffle fries, sausage gravy, fresh cheese curds and a fried egg; the Count ($12.50) with pulled ham, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, raspberry jam and maple syrup; the Alabama ($11.50), with fried green tomatoes, Cajun remoulade, arugula and Alabama white BBQ sauce; and the Marty McKlucken ($12.75), with Nashville hot chicken, sweet and spicy pickles, tomato, shredded iceberg lettuce and “hoverboard” mayo.
If someone has inspired you through their service, leadership or dedication, the Unity Awards are your opportunity to recognize them!
There’s more too, such as breakfast waffle fries, $5 (which you can turn into poutine, $7.50), a Shack salad ($13.50) and a selection of BBQ specialties like brisket, pulled pork and combo plates ($12-$24). You can wash it all down with a brunch cocktail ($8-$14) such as a classic bloody mary, bellini or cowboy coffee, which is made with bourbon cream, brown sugar-cinnamon simple syrup, vanilla and iced coffee.
The pop-up’s hours are Sat-Sun 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. That’s from Aug. 15-Sept. 6. Smoke Shack is open for dine-in and patio seating, as well as curbside pick-up.
