Porkland BBQ to Open in Portland Neighborhood
Proceeds to Benefit Non-Profit Community Center in West Louisville
BBQ lovers in west Louisville need to look no further than Porkland BBQ. Foodies from around Louisville are invited to enjoy the city’s finest BBQ at their Grand Opening on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 from 4-8:00 pm.
Porkland BBQ is a project of Love City, a non-profit in the Portland neighborhood. Proceeds from the start-up restaurant will go towards community programs for youth and aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as for upkeep of Love City’s Mackin Gym which was reopened earlier this month after a total renovation.
“We love Portland, we love our neighbors, and this is why we are here loving the community,” said Shawn Arvin, co-founder of Love City. “Porkland provides another opportunity to bring our neighborhood together.”
Porkland BBQ’s menu consists of pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches, fried fish, rib tips, and an assortment of side items and desserts. Following the Grand Opening, the restaurant’s regular hours will be Wednesday and Thursday from 4-8pm and Friday and Saturday from 11am-8pm.
