Wood-Fired: A BBQ Parking Lot Takeover with Clarkston's Union Woodshop
Next month we’re bringing a little bit of outdoor magic to Hazel Park with an October series of Parking Lot Chef BBQ collaborations. First up are our very favorite friends from the North: the Union Woodshop in Clarkston. For four days straight, the Woodshop crew will be bringing their bigtime smalltown BBQ straight from their backlot to our parking lot. Their Pitmasters and Meatmaster will be bringing an assortment of their much-heralded slow and low staples: twice-smoked bacon burnt ends, heirloom hog pulled pork, backlot brisket…and sides anchored by the most-macked Mac & Cheese that put Union Joints on the national culinary map. This combination of care and respect for the craft is what helped the Woodshop earn the 2009 Detroit Free Press Restaurant of the Year… and that rustic honesty still comes through every dish they dish out. Add some crafty concoctions from Union Joints’ beverage program leads and treats from their pastry lab team; and you’ve got a lot worth parking for in this parking lot! Snag your tickets: which gets you a seat either on our frame patio (al fresco with heaters and social distancing) in our parking lot tent (heated and socially distanced) or the full Union Woodshop experience packaged to-go. Grab a glass of something funky on arrival and be ready for a warm October welcome! Needless to say, we’re beyond stoked that the Union Joints’ family has joined the frame family.
