Carve BBQ Opening In Glendale
New Eatery From Southern Concepts To Add Fire In Belly Of Valley’s Dining Crowd
So you’re looking for that next great eating odyssey. Food you crave that’s guaranteed to satisfy your hunger. A renegade wave of new eateries is opening in Glendale and Denver with Texas-size ambitions and creative swagger that’s turning the Valley into the next great dining destination and barbeque is just the beginning.
Carving out a laid-back local hot spot in Glendale is Southern Concepts Restaurants Group’s fast casual barbeque concept Carve Barbeque opening Nov. 5 in the 1000 S. Colorado Blvd. shopping plaza. To celebrate the opening Carve will donate 10 percent of all sales to the Denver Rescue Mission during grand opening day. In addition, the first 25 guests to arrive on grand opening day will receive free Carve for one year. It is the first barbeque eatery from the Colorado Springs-based group that owns and manages three ful
l-service restaurants in the market. “Carve is different than your traditional pit barbeque restaurant — it is barbeque without boundaries,” explains Mitchell Roth, Southern Concept’s CEO. “We will be setting ourselves apart by choosing only the finest quality, all-natural meats.”
Customers will walk down the food line in the contemporary eatery where they choose from four styles — naked, salad, sandwich or street taco — plus meat garnishments. The eatery will serve pork, chicken, brisket, ribs plus prime rib, all natural wood-smoked. The fresh sides will range from traditional options like coleslaw, to barbecue pico de gallo and charred corn salad. Craft brews and local wines will be available. Information: 303-756-3356.
