Pitmaster John Lewis of Lewis Barbecue and his team today announced their new concept, JL's Southwest Brisket Burgers, will officially open in their food trailer on site at the restaurant (464 N. Nassau St.) on Wednesday, August 18th.
The burger joint will take over the former Juan Luis trailer on the Lewis Barbecue patio, where they will serve backyard-style burgers, custard desserts, and margaritas.
Lewis, together with partner Philip Powers, has created a menu of southwestern-style fare served for lunch and dinner. Menu highlights include a mesquite grilled green chile cheeseburger; wedge fries smothered in Hatch red and green chile and cheese; Hatch chile cheese hot gut sausage dogs; and Hatch chile frozen custard sundaes.
JL's will also serve a variety of beers, as well as frozen margaritas, and non-alcoholic beverages.
JL's Southwest Brisket Burgers will be open Monday and Sunday, from 11 am to 9 pm, and Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 10 pm with dine-in available on the patio and inside the restaurant and take-out available via Toast on the LewisBarbecue.com website.
