My wife mentioned that she thinks she saw a sign for a new BBQ joint opening downtown. It’s located on Market street where the old Wing place used to be. She thinks it may have been called The [something] Pig.
Can anyone out there confirm this?
Update: As Peter mentioned in the comments it is called The Black Hog BBQ and Bar, and I confirmed tonight it’s in the place where the wings place used to be down the street from La Paz.

I have heard that Michael Tauraso closed Proof to open a bbq place on S. Market. But I’ve heard it’s in the spot across the street from La Paz, I believe the one that has the patio enclosed on the creek side.
Greg // May 17, 2008 at 11:11 am
I thought I saw a sign on the door of Proof that said they were closed but just for renovations and would reopen soon?
Peter // May 17, 2008 at 11:13 am
Black Hog BBQ and Bar.
It’s on the east side between South and Saints.
lizfrog // May 17, 2008 at 11:40 am
Greg, they are re-opening under new ownership.
Guy // May 17, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Thanks Peter, that’s it.
The Dude // May 17, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Has anyone tried Carter-que–the BBQ place in Mt. Airy? Thumbs up or down?
Bunny // May 17, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I saw the sign this morning…the word “black” is in it, I think. Also, Proof had a sign in the window that said it was only closing for a month for renovations. I hope that’s true…I just love Proof on a Saturday stroll through town.
Jonathan // May 17, 2008 at 6:43 pm
I heard the new ownership deal with Proof fell through, and the sign says “re-opening on a month after some light renovations.” I think Mike Tauraso will still have a hand in Proof. Can;t wait for the BBQ place he’s opening.
Cygnus // May 17, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Dude: Funny you should ask! Was just over a friend’s house in Clarksburg tonight for a “Guys Gotta Eat” get-together, and Carter-que provided the ribs and chicken.
:-9 to both! Delicious, and the sauces were excellent as well.
Peter // May 19, 2008 at 10:56 am
to the Dude: Rave reviews for Carterque. I took a BBQ class from Chris. He’s got some skills.
I wish he’d open something closer to town.
If you go, make sure you try the raspberry grilling sauce!

I’m (amazingly) not much of a BBQ person, but I had short order takeout from The Canopy in Ellicott City the other day, and it was great. Maybe my tastebuds are advancing? Who knows.
Cygnus // May 19, 2008 at 11:42 am
The Canopy has always had good ribs, better than Bare Bones, IMO (and not nearly as expensive).
Also worth a drive is Red, Hot, and Blue.
Bill // May 19, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Yup, it is “The Black Hog” BBQ & Bar…it sits directly across from “Homes at Market Square”.
Can’t wait……
storagelady // May 19, 2008 at 1:35 pm
When is it slated to open?
Caseycat4 // May 19, 2008 at 3:24 pm
to The Dude: My husband and I took my brother and sister-in-law there this weekend. EXCELLENT! We all had different dishes and they were all good. I had the Oink Moo Burger (hamburger with a slice of ham); husband had the pork bbq sandwich and chili; the rest had ribs. Everything was great. The baked beans are very good also. Even though it is in Mt. Airy, we are definately going back. The staff was great and very helpful. I definately recommend Carter Que.
lizfrog // May 19, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Carterque has a website if you want to check out their menu:

The Dude // May 19, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Some may scoff, but I think Dave’s Famous Barbeque is quite good. Anyone agree or disagree?
Carterque is on my to-do list.
Caseycat4 // May 20, 2008 at 8:17 am
The Dude, both my husband and I think Dave’s Famous BBQ is pretty good too. My husband is a hugh BBQ fan and it’s one of his favorite restaurants. Have you tried Blue’s BBQ yet? It’s a blue truck that sits on Grove Road. I like their pit ham, husband likes the pit beef.
Guy // May 20, 2008 at 8:18 am
@ The Dude, I have no problems with Famous Daves. Good beef brisket and evily delicious corn muffins. We have also ordered from them for a couple parties and it worked out well.
jdbohn // May 20, 2008 at 9:25 am
The 2 BBQ places I usually frequent are Famous Dave’s and Red, Hot & Blue. Famous Dave’s has great sandwiches, while I prefer RH&B’s ribs (Dry Rub). The Blues BBQ truck on Grove Road has some good BBQ as well.
CarterQue looks very promising, as well as the prospect of a place downtown.
Cygnus // May 20, 2008 at 11:07 am
The pound of rib tips at Famous Dave’s is worth the money. You’re almost guaranteed leftovers.
I’ve always liked Famous Dave’s, but Carter-que may have them beat.
Nighthawk // May 20, 2008 at 11:29 am
I’m a certified bbq judge, and here’re my inputs on bbq in Frederick County. The Blues BBQ is not very good, as it is not tender enough and the taste was nothing to it (Rating: D+). Famous Dave’s is good, but most judges consider it horrible. I like its taste, and uniquess with the way they do the ribs. The taste level had recently dropped significantly though (Rating: B). Carter-Que is what you would call a bbq joint, even though when I tried it there, their ribs and pulled pork were not tender enough. However, they made up on the taste and presentation. I hope that I hit a bad day with the tenderness (Rating: B+ for now, with potential to be A- or better).
storagelady // May 20, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I”ve never tried the ribs at the Blues Truck - but their hush puppies are delish.
pixelstacker // May 23, 2008 at 10:16 am
If you want great BBQ in Frederick County the only place to go is Chubby’s on 15 outside Emmittsburg. They have great brisket and pulled pork. There famous from Bill Murray to the Redskins being some of there customers.
If you want some of the best BBQ and BBQ inspired food you have to hit up Urban BBQ in Rockville right off 355. I drive well out of my way to grab some dinner there. If you go try the Soul Rolls its an egg roll filled with brisket, cheese, and bbq sauce with a chili cheese dipping sauce. Plus they have draft Dominion Root Beer.
Famous Daves and Red, Hot, & Blue are chain BBQ, its like calling Olive Garden real italian food.
Guy // May 23, 2008 at 10:24 am
Urban BBQ Company does look good.
Nwirth // May 27, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I understand Mike T. is going to reopen Proof. He is going to emphasize the cafe rather than the bakery with more tables and food items.
The Dude // May 27, 2008 at 8:13 pm
I tried Chubby’s BBQ. Pretty uneven menu. Some good, some so-so, none really homers or strike outs.
Anyone remember Doug Tomlin at Mountaindale General Store? That crazy Texan could smoke meat.
Becky // May 27, 2008 at 8:18 pm
I live right down from the store. I LOVED that place!! I wish he never sold it and moved away! I loved their bbq sandwich with slaw on it. They supposedly still make the bbq sandwiches there - not sure if they are the same…but they were doing some pretty bad business and too much high on the prices so we stopped going.
storagelady // May 27, 2008 at 9:06 pm
We used to go to the general store for their BBQ also! Also - a few times we drove up there to buy some mesquite wood for our big black Texas smoker so we could do our own home smokin’.
I’m not a big fan of Chubby’s either. I like the ambience - perfect for what it is - but the food is not always spot on.
capsfan // May 29, 2008 at 7:21 am
Walked by Proof last night. Paper is off the window; bakery case still there, but moved to back wall. Other than that, looked pretty much the same. Anyone have any news on the reopening?
Darrell Russ // May 29, 2008 at 8:26 am
All I know is I cannot wait! A friend will be here next week from Ohio and she loves their chai.
Chris // May 29, 2008 at 8:26 pm
OK, so when is The Black Hog gonna open? Anybody know?
