Drinking Pig BBQ, a barbecue concept that crosses Texas-style smoking with Caribbean spices and Asian-inspired preparations, is planning a location at Sundy Village in Delray Beach, per an Instagram post from a local business promotions account. No confirmed opening date has been announced, and no permit filings or lease confirmation are on record.
The restaurant is led by Harold Joseph, identified in the post as an award-winning pitmaster. No competition results, prior venues, or other background details appear in the source material.
The menu centers on the Texas-style canon: oak-smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and chicken. The differentiating pitch is the sauce and sides program, described by the operator as globally inspired, with Caribbean spice profiles and Asian-influenced preparations running alongside the smoked proteins. The post does not specify where those influences land — in the dry rubs, the finishing sauces, or the accompaniments — a detail that separates a true fusion program from a conventional smokehouse with a few international condiments on the side.
Sundy Village, the mixed-use development anchored by the historic Sundy House property, has drawn a range of food and retail operators seeking a footprint distinct from the Atlantic Avenue corridor a few blocks north. A dedicated barbecue concept with a stated fusion identity would mark a new category for the development's current tenant mix.
The only publicly available sourcing is the Instagram caption, which is formatted as a promotional post inviting businesses to request coverage — not a direct announcement from Drinking Pig BBQ. The restaurant's own channels had not released additional details as of publication. A permit filing or a direct operator statement would provide a clearer read on the construction timeline and target opening window.
