By the time you finish reading this list, you will be hungry.
Surprisingly, most of the new restaurants that opened in BF Homes serve manly and meaty dishes, a bunch of them offer barbecue and grilled specialties such as ribs, pork belly, smoked brisket, etc. FYI, we are totally not complaining. In fact, curating and completing this list was more difficult than others because of how hungry we got everytime we opened the draft. We wish you the same feeling! *evil grin*
Kidding aside, if these photos are not enough to make you drive down South then we don’t know what will. So go invite your friends and family to accompany you on the ultimate food trip. These places are relatively new but are already creating so much buzz because of their delicious food.
