Gateway City Barbecue Festival is postponed
P-D Restaurant Critic and Food Writer
The Gateway City Barbecue Festival, noted in this space about a week ago, has been postponed until fall. The organizers at the Old Rock House south of downtown noted that what sounded like a perfect match — a barbecue contest over Fourth of July weekend — actually led to objections from numerous teams, who preferred to stay home with their families for the holiday. A revised date is pending.



Joe Bonwich has been the restaurant critic for the Post-Dispatch since 2002 and has covered the local food scene for various publications for more than 25 years. He does his best to maintain his anonymity so that he isn't recognized in restaurants (which is why his picture looks like it does).
