First Taste of Gene Giuffi's Blue Belly BBQ Next Week

Southwark is hosting a barbecue next week on Wednesday, June 20, that will also be the debut of Gene Giuffi's Blue Belly BBQ.

Giuffi, who also owns Cochon, has been working on his new restaurant for awhile, and plans to open in the next month. Next week, though, chef Nick Macri of Southwark and Philadelphia Brewing Company are hosting the big bash, which will set you back a ridiculously affordable $35 per person, and give you a preview of what to expect from the new spot. The party will be held outdoors from 6 - 9 p.m., unless the weather forces the event indoors.

The BBQ is a pick and choose, wit the following options:

Meats (Choice of 2 served with Hot sauce, Mustard dip and Newbold BBQ sauce)

Jerk Chicken legs
Garlic and oregano sausage
Pulled Pork
Smoked Chuck flap
Pork Ribs

Sides (Choice of 2 with cornbread)

Braised greens
Potato and snap pea salad
House salad

Dessert

Reservations are suggested, and can be made by calling Southwark at 215-238-1888.
