Q39 are really good. Probably my favorite of the "new guard" of KC BBQ. I'm still partial to the OGs personally -- Bryants (always my favorite), Gates, LCs, and OKJoes. Smoking Swine is really really good BBQ!!! Seriously the only place here that I can honestly say I crave. The hours can be hard to figure out so definitely call them to see if they're open. Drew's had a tough go the last couple years but he is one of the first people I met here and one of the best, kindest, hardest working people I've met. That place deserves all the love.

If someone from KC says they make really really good BBQ, I'm there

I see Smokin' Swine is a food truck. Where are they parked usually?

They had a brick and mortar location in The Hanover bar. 3440 S Hanover St, Baltimore, MD 21225

But I'm not sure what's going on with that. It might be that because it's winter he's not doing it. I usually call the number on their FB and ask if they're open on where they are. (this is where it gets complicated and Drew has expressed his exasperation in keeping the business going)

Ah man, what a drag. This was posted on Google. Damn, this really hurts my heart. We loved them.

"We had a great time servicing your bbq needs for the last 10 years but the market has changed and we simply couldn't adapt in a meaningful way. We hope to be able to pop-up now and again, but for now we have to join the land of the 9 to 5. Just remember that when we were good we were great, and when we were bad we were amazing."
