Second Mr. K's Opening in Tucson

The owner of Mr. K's on the south-side of Tucson is bringing the popular barbeque restaurant to the north-side of town beginning July 4th. According to the Arizona Daily Star:

"The original south-side Mr. K's BBQ, which Kendrick opened in 1998 in a building that also houses his Afro-American Museum, is owned by Kendrick's son Ray. It will remain open, but it likely will be under a new name, Ray Kendrick said.

The new Mr. K's will use the recipes that have been in Kendrick's family more than 100 years and build on the original menu. Foster said it will offer a bigger selection of meats and sides, with entrees running $8 to $15."

The new Mr. K's will take over the former Chili's location near the Tucson Mall. For more information on Mr. K, Charles Kendrick, check out the full article here.
