Fifth Anniversary Barbeque

Fearing’s Restaurant will begin its extended five-year anniversary celebration this August 19 with a lively evening of barbecue, music and beer, featuring a special guest appearance by world barbecue legend Chris Lilly. Joining Chef Dean Fearing from his home in Alabama, Chris Lilly is the chef/partner of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q and is renowned for his competition-winning pulled pork and white barbecue sauce. He has been featured on the Food Network, on NBC’s Today Show and in extensive national media including Food and Wine, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.

Added highlights of the casual August 19 event will include beer selections from Fearing’s friend and neighbor, Deep Ellum Brewing Company, official beverage sponsor for the barbecue. The evening’s menu has been co-designed by Chefs Fearing and Lilly and will be highlighted by Char-Grilled Oysters with Wilted Greens and Pepper Sauce, Barbecued Chicken with Alabama White Barbecue, and Eight-Time World Championship Pulled Pork Sliders with Spicy Mustard Coleslaw. Dessert will include such choices as Dreamsicle Push up Pops (Orange/Vanilla), Watermelon-Lime Popsicles and Vanilla Malt/Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches, all served to the live guitar sounds of Dean Fearing and friends.
