| Jim Mitchell shows off his smoker, now located across the street at his other business. |
Marshall Cooper and I were hitting a couple of joints in the area and had high hopes. This looked like the kind of down home joint we really enjoy. We wheeled in the parking lot and immediately noticed the smoker was missing out back. Not a good sign.
There was an "open" banner on the side of the building but things didn't look right. We peeked in the front window and saw the chairs were stacked up. No a sign of recent activity inside either.
As we snooped around, a guy crossed the street and asked if he could help us. It was Jim Mitchell, owner and pitmaster of the Que Shack. He also runs bail bond, check cashing, used car and car repair businesses directly across Williams Street.
Jim told us that he had to shut the place down about four weeks ago.
"I just wasn't making any money," he said, adding that labor costs were a big problem.
He has no immediate plans to reopen but plans to continue doing some catering.
"I'd love to just cook BBQ and golf one of these days," Jim said with a smile.
And the Posse would love to try some of that cue one of these days too.....
