CLOSED

There was a collective sigh of relief when Ken Gordon of Ken's Place bought the BBQ and smokers from the LOW guys when LOW (Laid Off Workers) BBQ (serving you with 15 years in the semiconductor industory!) closed in August 2005. Rodney Muirhead and Kyle Connally worked magic with slow-smoked Painted Hills beef brisket and to-die for pork ribs. But they got other jobs, and the BBQ, beloved as it was, had to go.

It was, by all accounts, a great success. But, for a number of reasons, Ken has decided to move on, into the deli-pastrami-brunch business he built with Nick Zukin, Kenny and Zuke's, which will be opening downtown in the Ace Hotel in September.

Luckily for us, Rodney Muirhead couldn't stay away from the BBQ and opened Podnah's.
