Patrick Feges to Join Forthcoming Southern Goods

It's been a year since Patrick Feges left his line cook position at Underbelly for a pitmaster apprenticeship at Killen's Barbecue. Garnering recognition as an Eater Young Gun semi-finalist last year, plus countless Feges BBQ pop-ups, the young chef's next role takes him to the Heights.

Feges will join Underbelly alum and executive chef Lyle Bento at Southern Goods after leaving Killen's Barbecue at the end of the month, reports CultureMap. The Southern restaurant from partners Charles Bishop (former co-partner of Cottonwood and Liberty Station) and Bento will utilize Feges' pitmaster skills once opening in April.

As for Feges' plans of opening his own smokehouse last year, CultureMap notes the chef couldn't come to an agreement with a landlord. With assistance from Bishop and Bento, the up-and-coming 'cue master-to-be will look for another location down the road.
