Welcome

At Expat BBQ, we reimagine the spirit of backyard barbecue through a global lens. Here, the American pitmaster is the abroad traveler, substituting classic ingredients with bold flavors found in markets and kitchens from Vietnam to Brazil, to China and beyond. Think St. Louis-style ribs glazed with tangy hoisin, smoked pork brightened by fresh Vietnamese herbs, or sides layered with South American influence. Located in the heart of Midtown at the City Foundry, Expat is where global flavor meets familiar fire—welcoming you to gather, share, and explore.
