Chefs Dan Olson and Tyler Day of Railtown Cafe and Railtown Catering ready to fire up their custom-made 12-foot barbecue barrel for a Tailgate BBQ Series once again! The series will be held on June 25, July 23rd and August 20th with two time slots available per day, 3:00pm and 5:00pm. The highly anticipated food event will take place outside our flagship Railtown Cafe location located at 397 Railway Street in June and the Boxcar Patio located at 917 Main Street in July and August.

“We’re thrilled to invite people to gather Railtown neighbourhood we love so much. It’s an exciting time everytime we bring back the tailgate and we can’t wait to see all the familiar faces of our fellow barbecue-lovers,” shares Olson. The menu expresses a passionate pursuit of perfecting all things barbecue. “We use apple wood in our smokers, it has a slightly sweet fragrance and flavour that enhances the proteins, and the chickens are beer-brined to get a tender to the bone product,” Olson explains.

Ticket holders will enjoy generous plates of mouthwatering slow-smoked brisket, pork shoulder, beer-brined chicken and brats, and melt-in-your-mouth Jalapeño Corn Bread, as well as a choice of two Southern-style sides. The Tailgate Plate is available for $35.00. Attendees also have the option of a Vegetarian Plate ($35.00) with Vegan Bratwursts, and a Railtown Cheeseburger or Beyond Meat Burger with Choice of Sides ($25.00).
