This past weekend, Chef Jake Wood, owner of Lawrence Barbecue in Durham, NC, traveled to Wilmington to serve up some outstanding barbecue out of End of Days Distillery’s new Concept Kitchen Co. Starting Friday, Chef Jake stayed up all night to deliver his delicious menu to our guests. His hard work paid off with lines starting before opening, then proceeding to sell out of all the food before close both Saturday AND Sunday. With smokers and ember pits set up in the parking lot, this immersive experience left customers, staff, and anyone who was able to get a whiff of this food satisfied.

Similar to the Concept Kitchen, Lawrence BBQ’s location in Durham is also a shipping container converted into a kitchen which opened in June of 2021 and as been slinging great bbq out ever since. Chef Jake and the Lawrence Food Co team’s hard work has not gone unnoticed, receiving recognition from Southern Living as one of the “Best New Barbecue Joints in The South”, and from Durham Magazine as “Best Barbecue in Bull City”. Chef Jake also sources his oysters locally from our friends over at N.Sea Oyster Company which were a huge hit this weekend as well. Thank you Chef Jake and your awesome team, hopefully we will see a location down in Wilmington one day!
