Is there any news on rebuilding the Circle R?

RELATED: FOOD and WHAT'S COOKING and LETTERS

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Has there been any talk or actions on rebuilding the Circle R?

When you talked to someome that has been through Kentucky, they know about or have eaten at the Circle R.

I believe that bringing back the restaurant bigger and better would be a great help to the economy.

And it was just a good place to meet and greet old and new friends.

Note: The Circle R is now being rebuilt. It will be somewhat different, but will carry the Circle R badge. It should be open in two to four weeks, according to Michael L. Stephens, the owner. The restaurant will be the third major barbecue location in Columbia, making this community the closest thing to Lockhart, TX, anywhere else--but more better--and giving travelers to Columbia an opportunity to sate their cravings at almost every entrance to town, not to mention the many street vendors here. Columbia's BBQ scene will include three distinct styles: 1) Kansas City, at the phenomenally famous Ol' Joe's B&B Que, 2) Monroe County style at the Red Barn on Hudson ST., and 3) an indigenous style, at the Circle R, all its own. It is as if the BBQ power lines of the world converge in Columbia, KY--making Columbia to Barbecue what Brussels and New York City are to international government. The new Circle R will also offer fried catfish and other items, and al fresco dining, eating fresh food in the fresh air. -EW
