A LOT is happening at DAMO this week.

THIS WEEK AT DAMO BBQ 🔥

SATURDAY IS BBQ DAY. 🔥

And today, we’ve got a LOT coming off the pit.

🔥 Baby Back Ribs
🔥 Spare Ribs

🔥 Brisket Arancini Balls
🔥 Pork Belly Burnt Ends

And you can always grab:

🥩 Brisket by the pound
🐷 Pork by the pound
🥪 The Sicilian — our brisket sandwich

🌶️ Texas Twinkies

(Our sandwiches served on fresh D'Amatos Bakery & Subs bread )

📍 104 W Railroad St., Marengo, IL
🕚 11 AM–3 PM or until food sells out

But here’s the thing we don’t say enough…

When you choose to spend your Saturday at a small, family-owned business, it means something.

Every plate you order helps us keep the smokers going.
Every person who brings a friend helps us grow.
Every share, review, comment and recommendation puts DAMO in front of someone who may not know us yet.

We’re still building this thing—literally and figuratively—and we’re incredibly grateful for every person who has decided to support us along the way. ❤️

So if you’re looking for lunch today, **come see us.**

Bring your family. Bring a friend. Come hungry.
And if you see Danny or Maggie, **come say hi.** We’d love to meet you.

A little paint.
A lot of dreams. ❤️

There are a million little things that go into building a small business… and sometimes that means, rolling up your sleeves and doing it yourself.

We're slowly turning these four walls into **DAMO's next chapter.**

It's not fancy. It's not happening overnight.

But it's ours. And we're building it with our own two hands. 🖌️🔥

**One little project at a time.**

Tomorrow we’re back at the DAMO window with the smokers rolling and your Friday BBQ plans handled.

One question we hear pretty often:

**“Why are you only open 4 hours a day, two days a week?”**

And honestly… we get it. From the outside, it probably looks like we’re only working 8 hours a week.

But those 8 hours are just the part you get to see.

Behind those hours are days of shopping, prepping, trimming, smoking, cooking, cleaning, doing dishes, restocking, answering emails, updating the website, creating posts, bookkeeping, loading, unloading, opening the truck and closing it all back down.

Danny spends days preparing the food before you ever see it.

And while he’s doing that, I’m usually somewhere behind the scenes trying to work a full time job and keep the rest of DAMO moving.

We’re a husband-and-wife small business. We don’t have a staff of 20 people behind us. **It’s us.**

Right now, we’re also building out our new home in Marengo, trying to keep expenses under control and doing as much of the work ourselves as we possibly can.

Could we try to take on more days?

Sure.

But we’re not interested in growing so fast that we can’t keep up.

We want to make great BBQ.
We want to take care of our customers.
We want to give you a great experience.
And we want to build DAMO the right way.

Once we’re operating inside, things will look very different. We won’t be opening and closing the food truck every service day (Soo much work), and we’re excited for that next chapter.

**So for now, those 8 hours you see?**

They’re backed by a whole lot of hours you don’t.

And we wouldn’t trade it.

Thank you for being part of it. ❤️
