Austin Foodies @ KG BBQ

Join us for an Austin Foodies Meetup at KG BBQ on August 23, 2026, where bold Egyptian spices, classic Texas smoked meats, and great company come together! Founded by Chef Kareem El-Ghayesh (the "Egyptian Cowboy"), KG BBQ is one of Austin’s most acclaimed food spots, blending Central Texas barbecue tradition with vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors. Since August in Austin can get pretty warm, we’ll grab our food from the KG BBQ truck and head right inside Oddwood Brewing next door to grab a seat, cool off, and enjoy our meal in comfortable air conditioning! ✨ What to Expect: Explore a Unique Egyptian-Texas Barbecue Fusion: Indulge in signature creations like Pomegranate & Za'atar Glazed Pork Ribs, classic smoked brisket, sumac and cinnamon-rubbed lamb shoulder, or smoked kofta. Try Signature Bowls, Pitas & Sides: Savor fan favorites like the Brisket Rice Bowl topped with tahini and candied nuts, Brisket Shawarma Pitas, Egyptian Mac & Cheese with béchamel, or the colorful Pink Buttermilk Potato Salad. Cool Off Indoors at Oddwood Brewing: Pair your food with a craft beer or refreshing beverage while we beat the summer heat together indoors. Meet fellow Austin food enthusiasts who love exploring the city’s best food trucks and neighborhood spots Share recommendations, discover new places to eat, and bond over a shared appreciation for great food Whether you’re a long-time fan of Texas BBQ or excited to try Egyptian fusion for the first time, this meetup is a wonderful opportunity to expand your palate, enjoy delicious food, and make new foodie friends. Come hungry, stay cool, and get ready for great conversation and bold flavors!
