Summer in the Ark-La-Tex means three things: long days, lake weekends, and the undeniable craving for world-class backyard barbecue. But let’s be honest—nobody wants to spend their weekend sweating over a scorching pit when they could be enjoying a cold drink with family and friends.
For our July Community Spotlight, we’re shining a light on a locally owned, veteran, and LEO-operated business that has completely mastered the art of pit-to-table service: Pork and Fork BBQ.
No Storefront, No Problem: Premium BBQ Built for Events
If you’ve been looking for a traditional Pork and Fork sit-down restaurant, you won’t find one. Instead, they’ve built something even better for party season: a dedicated, top-tier catering and meal-prep operation designed to bring competition-grade wood-fired barbecue straight to you.
From upscale weddings and corporate appreciation events to backyard cookouts and oilfield on-site feeds, they handle the heavy lifting. They bring the smoke, the flavor, and the expertise to a 100-mile radius around Shreveport-Bossier, leaving you free to actually enjoy your own gathering.
The Ultimate Summer Hack: Smoked Meat by the Pound
Planning a smaller family get-together, a lake day, or just trying to survive the July heat without turning on the kitchen oven? Pork and Fork has a game-changing solution through their meal prep branch, Pork & Fork Preps.
Instead of ordering massive catering spreads, you can order their incredible smoked brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and signature sides by the pound.
How it works: You place your order online, and they prep it fresh.
Easy Pickup & Delivery: You can swing by their kitchen pickup spot at 521 Barksdale Blvd in Bossier City on Sunday afternoons, or take advantage of their Monday morning delivery options for local offices, schools, and first responders.
The Result: A fridge stocked with world-class brisket and pulled pork ready to heat-and-eat all week long.
Supporting Those Who Serve
When we support local operations like Pork and Fork, we’re supporting a business deeply rooted in the community. They are known for hosting local East Bank events that give back to area non-profits, bringing true Southern hospitality to every batch they smoke.
So as you map out the rest of your summer milestones, pool parties, or family reunions, give the grill a rest. Let the pros handle the pit.
