Today was a pretty special day for our very own Kane St. Smokehouse 👏 They were approached by America’s Best Restaurants for a feature on their show, and today, they filmed the segment!
Kane Street has quickly become a local favorite, serving up delicious pork, brisket, chicken, and more 😋 They smoke their meats daily on site, in — get this — their built-by-hand smokers out back 🤩
They’ve called Gate City home for 3 years now, and we are so thankful for them, and their service in our community 🫶🏼 And we are SO happy for this tremendous recognition they are receiving - it is SO well-deserved! Congratulations, friends!
