Restaurant notes: Fishtowners like BBQ; Ghiottone rebuilding

Bubba's Texas BBQ gets a go-ahead.

Fishtown's neighbors unanimously approved plans for Bubba's Texas BBQ at 19-21 W. Girard Ave. last night, paving the way for a zoning hearing set for March 23. Owners did not bring along their smoker, as they wanted to play the hearing fair and square. More info here.

Speaking of 'Q: Zachary's BBQ has opened at 1709 Markley St. in Norristown. Owner Keith Taylor briefly ran Holy Smoke in Roxborough.


La Locanda del Ghiottone, the Old City BYOB hit by fire last week, is being rebuilt. Owner Giuseppe Messina says he's a couple of weeks away.
