Therin lies the rub, the sauce, 

the smoke, the flavors ... 

BY MATT PITTMAN

fireworks, grilling and watching “Independence Day: Resurgence.” 

Pretty perfect, right? 

While there are many ways to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday, for many a barbecue party is a 

guaranteed hit. 

As my dad once said, “It’s time to put some dead animals on the grill.” Sounds harsh now, but he was right. 

To help you get you into the spirit — and maybe provide a little motivation and inspiration for the long 

summer holiday weekend — here are some of the best spots in the area to enjoy barbecue. 

Let’s start with a newbie, THE BEARDED PIG. 

This southern BBQ and beer garden restaurant opened a 

few months ago to packed houses. Demand was so huge 

the first two days they were open, the folks behind the 

Pig ran out of food. Since then their reputation has 

grown to be top-notch. With plenty of beer on tap and 

an amazing outdoor seating area, this is a prime spot 

for great barbecue. When you’re in the San Marco area, 

stop by and welcome these folks to Jacksonville. 

Jack recommends: Ribs, smoked to perfection. 

Bearded Pig 1224 Kings Ave., (904) 619-2247 

Now let’s head to Avondale and MOJO NO. 4, 

URBAN BBQ and Whiskey Bar. BBQ and whiskey: 

two things that make me happy. What sets MOJO No. 

4 apart from others is the upscale dining atmosphere; 

something you might expect in the Avondale area. 

There aren’t many barbecue joints that are fit for a 

proper date, but MOJO No. 4 is. Did I mention that 

they have more than 175 whiskeys on hand? That 

certainly doesn’t hurt, either. 

Jack recommends: Burnt Ends with a side of collards. 

Mojo No. 4 3572 St Johns Ave., (904) 381-6670, 

mojobbq.com

JUNE 29-JULY 12, 2016

Now lets talk sauce; easily one of the most important 

ingredients when it comes to great barbecue. While some 

grill-masters prefer a dry rub, I would rather ladle on the 

sauce. JENKINS QUALITY BARBECUE has 

been making mouths water in Jacksonville for more 

than 57 years. The savory sauce is one of the reasons 

customers can’t get enough. No matter which of three 

locations you visit, including Downtown, make sure a 

roll of paper towels is within reach. 

Jack recommends: The Sweet Mild Sauce. Buy it by the jug. 

Jenkins Quality Barbecue 830 Pearl Street 

(904) 353-6388, jenkinsqualitybarbecue.com 

Next up is a smokehouse on wheels; the BUTT 

HUTT SMOKEHOUSE FOOD TRUCK to be 

exact. In 2015, Butt Hutt was voted “Best BBQ” at the 

4th-Annual Jax Truckies Food Truck Championship. 

These guys are on a mission to put Florida on the map 

with their array of secret family recipes that result in 

tender smoked meats and scratch made sides. Each 

week you can easily spot the big orange-and-yellow 

truck running around the Cultural Core. 

Jack recommends: The Bangin’ Beef Curry Fries. 

The Butt Hutt Smokehouse Food Truck, butthuttjax.com 

(904) 482-7512 

Let’s end our quest by mentioning the venue with the 

smallest area for parking but the most food. While THE 

SOUTHERN GRILL in San Marco offers much 

more on its menu, the barbecue always has been a 

highlight. Downtown and Southbank businesses flock 

to this restaurant at lunch, where you can find smoked 

sandwiches, sausage dogs, burgers and melts. No 

matter how long the wait, I promise, it will be well 

worth it. 

Jack recommends: Smoked corn beef or Smoked pork. 

The Southern Grill 800 Flagler Avenue, (904) 858-9800

ON THE COVER 

Michelle “Mickey” Payne is a local model and recent graduate 

of the University of North Florida. While on this cover shoot for 

Jack, she marveled at the flavor of the giant rib from The Bearded 

Pig and said, “I’ve never had this much fun on an assignment.”

jack 

jacksonville has an amazing craft beer scene and it continues to 

grow each year. Our signature breweries are not only making a 

splash around the Cultural Core, some are taking over the state. 

With the temperatures going up, here are some local craft beers that 

will help keep you cool. 

Whatever the beer you choose, keep it safe when you’re out this 

summer. And make sure you have a designated driver. 

GREAT 

SUMMER 

BREWS 

ON TAP 

PHOTOS: BOB SELF FOR JACK PHOTOS: WILL DICKEY FOR JACK 

Lemon Drop Wheat 

River City Brewing Company’s spin on a Summer 

Shandy. A smooth lightly hopped wheat beer with 

a refreshingly lemon citrus taste. An ice-cold beer 

and a view of downtown Jacksonville aren’t too 

shabby on a summer afternoon. 

River City Brewing Company 

835 Museum Circle, rivercitybrew.com 

Easy on the Eyes 

This session IPA has a bright citrus aroma from 

the Centennial and Citra dry-hopping. Light, 

easy, perfect for a day spent on the water. 

Intuition will soon be opening their new location 

across the street from EverBank Field. The 

rooftop bar is a nice addition. 

Intuition Ale Works 

720 King St, intuitionaleworks.com 

Raging Blonde 

Raging Blonde is a malt-oriented golden blonde 

ale that pushes the boundaries of the style with 

generous late kettle additions of Cascade and 

Centennial hops. Sounds fancy already. The 

result is a knockout beer featuring a riveting hop 

flavor without any associated bitterness. 

Veteran’s United 

8999 Western Way #104, vubrew.com 

j 

Adalwolf 

This is a German style pilsner that is lightly 

hopped and malt-forward. On top of the 

Adalwolf, later this summer Aardwolf will 

be re-releasing their Gose, a slightly soured 

German wheat brewed with salt and coriander 

to create a very light and refreshing beverage. 

Two summer brews …score! 

Aardwolf Brewery 

1461 Hendricks Ave, aardwolfbrewing.com 

Big John’s Apricot Wheat 

It’s all in the name. This is an easy drinkin’ 

wheat ale made and named for the patriarch 

of the Miller family. Bold City adds a bit of 

apricot to the mix that makes a brew that perfect 

for the upcoming hot summer days. 

Bold City Brewery 

2670 Rosselle St #7, boldcitybrewery.com 

LISTEN-UP: We really want to see 

you out enjoying your craft beers. Help

FUN SICK PHONY 

aims to make Jax a music hub 

When Fun Sick Phony 

takes the stage, 

classically great songs 

like “No Diggity” receive a soulful 

and jazzy spin. 

Within the Indie Funk genre, 

this band also puts itself into 

playing a mix of Rock, Blues, 

and Funk styles. The guitarists’ 

electric riffs fill the room, followed 

by groovy key sounds and catchy 

drumming that shuffles the room 

into a funk — the good kind. 

A full set — a combination 

of originals and covers — 

is punctuated by lengthy 

instrumentals that allow each 

musician to show off his skill. 

The band’s four members — 

Andy Wiltshire (vocals, guitar), 

Edwin Rivera (vocals, keys), Greg 

Miller (bass, guitar) and Chris 

Castro (vocals, drums) — have 

fallen in love with Jacksonville. 

Members of the group say they have 

COURTNEY CLARK 

jack 

experienced a growth in bookings 

during the past six months. 

Fun Sick Phony used to be 

known as The Rub, but members 

opted to change the name when 

former lead singer Robbie Raspa 

left the band. 

Castro and Raspa, who played 

music for more than seven 

years while they were 

stationed here in 

the Navy, formed 

the band in 2012. 

Although they had 

to dig hard to find 

the music scene back 

then, they knew they 

wanted to continue making 

music as civilians. 

Raspa, who recently left the 

band on good terms for personal 

reasons, explains that Jacksonville 

has a style of music that is specific 

to the city. She describes it as a 

mix of Indie, Southern, Blues and 

ROBBIE RASPA 

Rock. Jacksonville’s “eclectic 

vibe” is what drives the band. 

Rather than trying to make it big 

and move away from the river city, 

band members wanted to grow 

with the evolving music scene. For 

them, there’s no reason to leave a 

city when the city can be built. 

Like Nashville and 

Country, band members 

hope to help make 

Jacksonville the 

music hub (style to 

be determined) of 

the Southeast. 

Rivera, who 

took on management 

responsibilities after 

Raspa’s departure, explains that 

networking among local musicians 

is essential. Performing with other 

musicians helps build a network in 

town, which is why the band hosts 

Jam Sessions every other Friday at 

Downtown’s Hourglass Pub. 

To build upon Jacksonville’s 

local music framework, Rivera 

believes the city desperately 

needs more live-performance 

venues. He said it would be much 

easier for them to spring up if 

the Jacksonville City Council 

would lower the cost of a liquor 

license. More venues would attract 

more touring musicians, which 

would create conversation about 

Jacksonville as a destination and 

the envisioned music hub. 

Music is culturally and 

universally shared, Rivera says, 

because everyone loves some 

form. Even so, local musicians 

feel hindered when a community 

doesn’t support live performances. 

Jacksonville-based recording 

studios — True Tone Studios and 

Endangered Wise Men Studios 

— the ones used to record the 

band’s EP, also play a pivotal 

role in transforming the musical 

environment of the city. Rivera said 

the high-quality sounds emanating 

from these studios make it possible 

for bands like Fun Sick Phony to 

post their music online, which will 

lead to even more networking.

Jacksonville’s restaurant culture is an ever-evolving affair. 

As older spots plateau and fade, new places come on strong, 

meaning there’s never a shortage of exciting places to explore. 

Here is one our favorite spots. 

« CARMINE’S PIE HOUSE 

When you ask Keith to make a pie, he makes a really mean pie. 

And CARMINE’S PIE HOUSE in Riverside adds an extra slice 

of eccentric to your dining experience. 

Jumbo Rooster Wings are a must. “We call them Rooster cause 

they are too Bad Ass to be Chicken”. Calzones, Stromboli, 

Fried Cheesecake Bites and more. 

Happy hour is from 2pm to 6pm, Monday to Friday and it’s 

half price on local beers and house wines on Tuesday and 

Wednesday. 

Monday night trivia is at 7pm with $1.50 PBRs. 

The lunch special is two slices and a drink for only $5.99. Can’t 

beat it. Don’t even try. A Jacksonville original. 

Carmine’s Pie House 

2677 Forbes St, (904) 387-1400, carminespiehouse.com 

Hours: Monday–Saturday: 11am–10:20pm, Sunday: 11am–9pm

CREATIVE BURGERS 

DROPPING JAWS 

AT BLIND RABBIT 

The Southern Burger 

PHOTOS: MATT PITTMAN FOR JACK 


jack 

What once passed for the classic American hamburger 

sure has changed over the years. 

There was a time when two all-beef patties, special sauce, 

lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame-seed bun was 

deemed extraordinary. 

Nowadays it’s boring. 

People expect — and deserve — something different. 

One restaurant in the Cultural 

Core that’s making unique burgers 

is THE BLIND RABBIT, which 

opts for creative rather than 

excessive. 

Sitting at the end of a busy 

block on King Street, this place 

specializes in burgers and whiskey. 

Each carefully stacked burger has its 

own special twist — a combination 

of sweet, spicy and savory is in each 

and every bite. 

Don’t expect to find plain 

yellow mustard, Heinz ketchup or 

Duke’s mayonnaise. Here, you ask 

for curry mayo, bourbon-spiked 

Creole mustard or peach habanero 

hot sauce. 

Sure a tomato sounds good, but 

a fried green tomato sounds even 

better. And why get white onions 

when you can get crispy tobacco 

onions? 

Instead of firing up the grill in 

the early days of summer, here are 

five burgers offered by The Blind 

Rabbit that should really get your 

mouth watering. 

The BBQ Bacon Burger 

Applewood bacon, Provolone cheese, 

sweet barbecue sauce, crispy 

tobacco onions and bourbon-spiked 

Creole mustard on a brioche bun. 

The Southern Burger 

Fried green tomato, Creole pimento 

cheese, peach habanero hot sauce, 

arugula, Georgia cane syrup, and 

pickled okra on a brioche bun. 

Whiskey Smoked Burger 

Whiskey-smoked onions & 

mushrooms, smoked Gouda and a 

five-pepper jelly on a brioche bun. 

The Holick Burger 

Sunny-side egg, Intuition-braised pork 

belly, tomato, arugula, homemade 

bread-and-butter pickles and lemon 

aioli on a brioche bun. 

Blues Burger 

Maytag Blue cheese, caramelized 

onions, lettuce, tomato and 

homemade-bread-and-butter pickles 

on a brioche bun. 

Each one of these burgers is 

served with your choice of and 

sauce and hand-cut fries, Southern 

potato salad or bourbon-whipped 

sweet potatoes. 

If you want something to top off 

the experience, ask for the Maple 

Bacon Milkshake made with vanilla 

ice cream, candied applewood 

smoked bacon, Grade A maple 

syrup, caramel sauce and candied 

pecans. Feeling adventurous? Spike 

it with bacon-infused buffalo trace 

bourbon.

JACK JACKSON’S POCKET COMPANION: 

YES, CARLOS, THERE’S DANGER AHEAD 

‘Wiener-Dog’ 

Chronicles the adventures of a Dachshund 

that spreads comfort and joy as it travels 

around the United States. (Released: 

June 24, 2016) 

Comedy (unless you are at all familiar with 

eccentric director Todd Solondz’s work). 

PLOT 

GENRE 

‘Weiner’ 

Chronicles the life of a New York political 

“dog” who sought comfort and joy from 

women via social media. (Released: June 

17, 2016) 

Documentary (or comedy, depending 

upon your political leanings). 

Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito, Zosia 

Mamet, Kieran Culkin, Ellen Burstyn. 

STARRING 

Former Congressman Anthony Weiner, 

D-NY, and his wife Huma. 

R for language and some disturbing content. RATING R for some sexual material. 

The movie is broken into 4 parts; each 

focuses on a different owner of the dog. 

Gerwig’s character, Dawn Wiener, is the 

grown-up incarantion of the beloved 

adolescent heroine who appeared in 

Solondz’s 1995 coming-of-age black 

comedy “Welcome to the Dollhouse.” 

Characters find their lives changed or inspired 

by this pooch, which goes by 

multiple names including Wiener-Dog, 

Doody and Cancer. If you have kids or 

pets, please pay heed to all signs that say 

Danger!, including a Screen Crush review 

titled, “Love Dogs? Don’t See This Movie.” 

Weiner-Dog 

Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes 

Showing: SunRay Cinema, 1028 Park St., in Five Points, 

from July 8-14. (sunraycinema.com for showtimes) 

j 

NEED TO 

KNOW 

THE 

BACK 

STORY 

THE 

RAW 

STORY 

Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin has been a 

long-time associate of Hillary Clinton. 

In May 2011, Weiner sent a link via Twitter 

of a sexually explicit photo of himself to a 

female follower. After days of denial he 

finally admitted he had “exchanged 

messages and photos of an explicit nature 

with 6 women over the previous 3 years.” 

The film concentrates on the candidate’s 

failed 2013 race for mayor of New York 

City. After 7 terms in Congress, a second 

“sexting” scandal unfolds. Explicit chats & 

photos were sent by “Carlos Danger” to 

a 23-year-old woman who had contacted 

Weiner to express her disapproval of his 

extramarital behavior. Weiner had to admit 

“Danger” was his Yahoo nom de plume.
