Q: What do a hog wire fence, a succulent-filled shipping container and spicy sausage have in common?
A: Not much.
But you’ll find them all at 4505 Burgers & BBQ Patio. Stay calm: it’s gone from a takeout-in-a-parking-lot situation to a barbecue oasis with three different outdoors-ish areas for you and your meat plates. It’s open now. (First, here’s a slideshow.)
Order a Magnolia Blue Bell Bitter on tap and a brisket platter up front: still the same hot sausage, pulled pork, cheeseburgers... Start by snagging seats at the dark wood banquette. Look around and note that you’re inside a tricked-out shipping container—it’s pretty lush for a steel tube, with planters on the walls and skylights overhead (and a flat-screen for game days, too).
You might wander to the long communal tables that are covered but more outdoorsy. Heat lamps: yes. Proper German-beer-garden vibe: yes.
And sooner than later, on a nice night, you may end up outside-outside.
Under the twinkling string lights, opposite from the wood and charcoal stacks, you may notice a strange contraption in the corner.
That’s where the magic happens.
Magic, in this case, means the roasting of whole hogs.
Usually does.
