At Art of BBQ, smoked meat is, well, an art form. The joint began as a way to honour pit master Trevor David’s late uncle who loved smokehouse barbecuing in North Carolina. Now, Art of BBQ is one of Scarborough’s most authentic smokehouses, putting a northern Canadian taste on Southern-inspired smoked meats. The experimental flavours are shown with Art of BBQ’s specialty, The Big Bang Brisket, which is rubbed and seasoned with oyster sauce, mustard, and fresh herbs. Alongside the traditional southern favourites, Art of BBQ offers exotic meats like quail and partridge available for catering and special order. Authentic southern sides on the menu include the collard greens and cornbread.
