Black Hog BBQ is a new fast-casual spin-off from a full-service restaurant chain of the same name based in Maryland. It invites guests to try a variety of classic American regional barbeque flavors.

The judges felt the project more than met its goals and that the ambience of the space was sure to leave guests with positive feelings.
