WRNL Eats: Guru BBQ

Related Topics: Barbecue, Sauce, Flavor, Harissa, Thai cuisine

Thanks to the graciousness of local business owners our BBQ crawl was an unmitigated success in feeling miserable by 6 PM on a summer Saturday. This includes Guru BBQ and their co-owner, Ryan LePera, who treated us to the feast seen above.

Guru isn't your typical BBQ joint in the sense that it blends traditional BBQ methods with Cajun, French, Korean, Mexican, Spanish, and Thai influences. This is borne out in a menu that is nothing short of eclectic. The atmosphere at Guru matches its menu with everything we'd expect from a new venture in an area popular with the young professional crowd—hip, swanky, modern.
