Sugar Shack BBQ was started out of a love for 70’s retro music and back yard bar-b-ques by partners Mark Avalos and Mark Stimak. If you’re thinking about joining Mark and Mark in the Trailer Food revolution, they have some words of wisdom, “Don’t get fooled by places that have a lot of car traffic. That’s the number one misconception. If you see a place that has a ton of cars driving by you think that place will do well – but really foot traffic is the key.” Indeed, Sugar Shack gets plenty of foot traffic at their log-cabin-shack on wheels which is a favorite place for many students to eat just behind Dobie mall on UT campus.
Playing with the college environment and their theme, their menu includes fun items like the Notorious PIG and the Bama Jammma. The Sugar Shack’s best seller is their pulled pork with a mustard base cole slaw followed closely by their chicken breast sandwich with a white BBQ sauce. White sauce you say? That’s right, the guys at Sugar Shack love all kinds of BBQ, not just Texas-style. Their white sauce is a mayo-based Alabama-style BBQ-sauce along with 6 or 7 other ingredients. Not available in bottles yet, their red BBQ sauce is also a fan favorite.
