Great news: I just heard from Debby Portillo, one of the owners of @2fiftybbq , that the Texas-inspired smokehouse will open a location on K St. NW early next year. It will feature meats smoked in Riverdale Park to start, but they hope eventually to build a smokehouse in back.

In the past 6 months we have received disputes of more than $1k because of fraudulent charges, all of them have been decided in our detriment, all of them were online orders. We are paying a percentage to receive payments with credit cards and we are defenseless when attacked.
