Email intel to Chuck’s Hop Shop Plots New Location at Third Place Books in Seward ParkĬhuck’s Hop Shop - the longtime beer lovers destination from former Barbecue Smith owner Chuck Shin - is planning to open its third location at Third Place Books in Seward Park, per an announcement on Instagram. Ill see you opening week.Welcome back to Eater News, a semi-regular round-up of mini news bites. For a final opening date, follow along on Facebook. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased herenot many are left, so get on it if youre interested. There have been a couple of soft openings to try out the grill, and theyre hosting a fundraiser for Hurricane Harvey victims on Sunday, September 17.

Some of those beers will be collaborative projects made through Chucks Hop Shop like the recent Stoup Brewing Coastal Confusion IPA. The back of the spacebuilt like an old housewill be a bar area with seats for 15 to 20, offering 27 mostly local beers on tap. Of course, no place of Shins would be complete without an impressive beer program. Plates will be around $15, but you will also be able to buy meats by the pound.

Sweet tea will always be availablefor free!and sides will be pretty standard: coleslaw, mac n cheese, collard greens, black eyed peas and (perhaps most awesomely) Shins moms kimchi. Hes hoping to add a weekly steak night and try out some reverse searing technique.

His cue, Shin says, doesnt need saucethough theyre making a slightly sweet and a spicy variety in housebut still has a touch of sweetness from the combo of applewood and hickory wood used in the smoking process.īesides chicken, Jacobs will be making the requisite brisket, plus pork ribs, pulled pork and once-a-week beef ribs, plus specialties like smoked meatballs stuffed with mozzarella and smoked salmon sliders. The secret, Jacobs says, is in the brine, which leaves the chicken moist and flavorful throughout. My dad is a pretty old guy, and even he says its the best chicken hes had in his life, Shin says, laughing. (He grew up in Edmonds.)īut still, Shin swears Jacobs barbecue is first rate. Before you find out the hard way: Hes not even from Texas. Hes mostly self-taught, though he was a plumber on Jacks BBQ in Georgetown when it opened, and has since buddied up with owner Jack Timmons, who helped Jacobs hone his brisket recipe. Now hes the acting pitmaster of the restaurant, which will hopefully be open in the next few weeks.

The two owners are longtime friendsJacobs says he was one of Shins first regulars at the original shopbut Jacobs has been a plumber the last 15 years, barbecuing at home in his free time. And then I found out that Shin was involved. Then, they moved in a huge custom smoker. So when the Coa space at Roosevelt Way NE and NE 80 th Way closed a few months ago, I started eagerly anticipating the sort of place that could open just blocks from home. My hood, Maple Leaf, doesnt exactly have a surplus of wonderful, walkable restaurants and bars. Ill admit that Im perhaps overly enthusiastic about the opening of Barbecue Smiththe new restaurant partnership between industry newcomer Jason Jacobs and Chucks Hop Shop proprietor Chuck Shin.

Is there better news than a beer-and-barbecue shop opening in your neighborhood? Is there a better pairing than beer and barbecue?
