At this new barbecue shack in South Salt Lake, smoked meats and sides are served round-the-clock

“I got tired of making money for other people,” said the 31-year-old owner of Benji’s Bar-B-Que Shack. “I decided to make it for myself.”

Part restaurant, part catering company, Benji’s Bar-B-Que Shack serves all kinds of smoked meats — tri tip and brisket to pulled pork, ribs and prime rib for a $1.50 an ounce. Those who buy meat items get drinks and sliced white bread on the house.
