Forty Two Bar Kitchen and our passion for authentic southern barbecue comes from one place. Family. Our focus is to create a place where family, friends and all are welcome to stop on in.The origins of our barbecue are rooted in southern heritage. Beginning in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, we are steeped in the quality of good food and good company. None excluded, all welcome and ideas of deliciousness openly discussed.Over time members of our family traveled beyond the Blue Ridge into Texas. Bringing the heart of Texas and the flavor of mesquite, we found an authentic southern connection to our barbecue. We imparted the history of Appalachia and the story of Texas flavor to create our unique culinary tradition. From our slow smoking processes highlighting mesquite and post oak from Texas, family dry rub recipes, to our scratch made sauces, we invite you to enjoy our barbecue.Forty Two may or may not be the answer to life, the universe and everything but we might just be the stop on your way. Old friends and new are all invited to visit and we can't wait to see you!
