Riot BBQ is now open — with a name that nods toward the Park Hill Barbecue Riot of 1898 and James Beard-nominated Top Chef alum and longtime Denver-based chef, Manny Barella at its helm. The food is an homage to the intersectionality of Chef Manny’s roots, melding the worlds of Texas style barbecue and the Mexican influence that not only naturally runs through its veins, but is even more deeply infused into the offerings at Riot BBQ thanks to Barella’s adherence to highlighting the cuisine of his roots. For every classic bite done to traditional perfection, there’s a risk-taking riff bending the rules of barbecue in the spirit of Texas – and Colorado – as a juncture and subsequent celebration of many cultures.
