Expat Barbecue, a new globally inspired concept from Gerald Craft’s Niche Food Group, is scheduled to open later this year at Midtown’s City Foundry STL and will host a series of events this spring. Let’s get a taste of what to expect at the pop-up. The event will be held at the Urban Chestnut Midtown Brewery and Beer Garden, 3229 Washington Ave., where Niche’s Brass Burger currently operates.
The Expat BBQ menu includes dishes created by Executive Chef Sam Nawrocki and his team, utilizing American barbecue techniques in a variety of cuisines from around the world.All pop-ups start at 11am

The event will feature brisket sandwiches with adobo-filled chipotle, avocado salsa verde and cilantro, and will coincide with the first day of the Beer Garden’s Maifest celebration, which includes live music and the release of UCBC’s Maibock beer.
