Bill’s Barbecue Closing BBQ Gone For Good

admin — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:15:34 +0000

For years Bill’s BBQ was the Richmond favorite barbecue headquarters. They offered unique services like car side service with the flash of your headlights but above all was the great customer service and barbecue to match. For decades we were blessed here in Richmond with the great sauce and coleslaw and desserts. Today they announced they are closing for good just in the middle of the biggest barbecue resurgence ever.

Grilling Barbecue In Richmond

This year has been unusually warm and I spent many days reminiscing about my grill on the deck behind my house and the idle smoker. This winter I have mostly cooked indoors using some modified slow cooker recipes. It is so easy and it tastes so good. But Spring is almost here and it is time to start thinking about backyard pool parties, firing up the grill and having a backyard barbecue!

Local restaurants would like you to think they have the best barbecue or I even saw one that said they have the only “real barbecue in Richmond”, but let me tell you they are dead wrong, the barbecue guru is you! Don’t think you can’t do this stuff. It takes some patience and practice but you can have better bbq that anywhere else in Richmond, that is for sure. Restaurants offer a convenience and as well as good food (that’s a plus, not mandatory). Some are stellar, don’t get me wrong, but mainly I go for convenience and to break the routine of cooking every day and let the kids have some fun.

While I have some favorite recipes and restaurants, richmond va barbecue tries to size up the local competition fairly and also offers some great ideas on smokers grill and barbecue accessories. So check them out.

Portico Richmond River Road Restaurant

This new Richmond restaurant looks really nice after spending what appears to be hundreds of thousands of dollars on renovating the old Edible Garden. There was a veil of secrecy during the construction so I hope to see fireworks on opening night. We will keep you posted on the particulars after opening. Please let the food be as good as it looks!
