Tomorrow will mark the grand opening of Stephen Starr’s newest restaurant Fette Sau. Fette Sau is a popular BBQ joint in Brooklyn started by Joe Carroll. Carroll and Starr Restaurants are partnering on Fette Sau Philadelphia.
Fette Sau
Fette Sau (German for “fat pig”) is a barbecue restaurant specializing in dry-rubbed meats, sourced from small, local farms and smoked in-house. The menu changes daily, with a rotating selection of six meats available for purchase by the pound. The sides at Fette Sau are kept simple and include burnt end baked beans, broccoli salad, pickles, sauerkraut, house-made coleslaw and potato chips. The drink list at Fette Sau offers nine beers on tap, plus a cider, and an extensive list of North American bourbon and whiskeys. Picnic tables are the primary form of seating, giving the restaurant a communal atmosphere. The space at Fette Sau has an industrial feel, with it’s reclaimed wood, cement floor and exposed beam ceiling. Fette Sau is a transplant to Philadelphia from Brooklyn by way of partnership between restaurateur Stephen Starr and Chef Joe Carroll, marking Joe’s first restaurant outside Williamsburg, NY. Fette Sau is located in Fishtown at 1208 Frankford Ave.
