Hey, Bud! Went to North Main BBQ Sunday and the sign on the door said it was under construction. Any idea what’s going on? There is not a better deal.

The McKay family, which owns North Main now, has the the all-you-can-eat landmark near DFW Airport open again after plumbing and electrical work. The buffet is $19.50. (There’s a higher-rated all-you-can-eat barbecue place in Frisco or McKinney, Hutchins BBQ.)

New pizza coming to downtown Arlington

Hey, Bud! When does the new Cane Rosso open? Can’t wait.

—Arlington guys

Looks like mid-April, Jay Jerrier says. (Some pizza and Italian food to keep everybody busy in the Urban Union district downtown between trips to Hurtado Barbecue.)
