Jube’s Smokehouse goes home
Hey, Bud! What’s happening with Jube’s Smokehouse? He says he’s moved but hasn’t said where.
—Arlington barbecue guy
Preacher/pitmaster Patrick “Jube” Joubert has taken his barbecue business home to Arlington. He’ll do catering and take orders. He became known for his dirty rice-stuffed turkey legs and more Cajun and barbecue specials at his old South Edgewood Terrace restaurant; jubes-smokehouse.com.
Paris Coffee Shop open weekends for dinner
Hey, Bud! Say something about the Paris Coffee Shop being open for dinner, OK?
—Faithful Paris customer
Fort Worth’s 95-year-old Paris Coffee Shop, 704 W, Magnolia Ave., now serves dinner Thursdays through Saturdays with a full bar. It’s a quiet stop for burgers, salads, salmon or a rib-eye steak and fries.
It’s not the same old Paris. But it has a very similar breakfast and some good new menu items, plus salads.
