We like to get “press releases” from John Taus, Executive Chef at the Corner. They’re just the facts, often showing signs they were forwarded to other press around town. But that’s cool, he does fun stuff and is a good chef.

This Thursday he’s kicking off a weekly barbecue party on the Corner’s roof deck. Taus will be “hanging out on the deck with a sweet grill and probably a High Life.” This Thursday he will do one 7 p.m. seating for 25-30 people. In the future it will be two seatings, one at 6:30 p.m. and the second at 8:30 p.m. Cost is $30 per person for the family-style meal.

Here’s the first week’s menu.

Black bean and avocado salad
Macaroni salad
Corn bread
Collard greens with ham hocks
Succotash
Baby back ribs with BBQ sauce
Strawberry pound cake
