2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2018 Barbecue returns to Astoria’s Pier 11 By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Mark Windheim, left, and Phil Spencer have opened Smoked Bones BBQ on Pier 11. Among their added flair are chairs decorated with T-shirts, some from downtown shops like Metal Head and events like Astoria Pride. Barbecue has returned to Pier 11 Mall in Astoria. Phil Spencer and Mark Winheim have opened Smoked Bones BBQ in the space for- merly occupied by Bruce McBride’s barbecue restaurant Rollin’ Thunder from 2006 until its closure in December. Spencer, the self-described pit and sauce boss of Smoked Bones, previously worked at Baked Alaska and had been planning a butcher shop.

The meats come with comfort food staples like collard greens, coleslaw, mac salad, black- eyed peas and corn biscuits. The sauces trot the globe, from the Deep South to Vietnam, and the Scoville scale from mild to Spencer’s “pain” sauce made with smoked habaneros, carrots and vinegar. “Basically, any barbecue sauce from around the world, Associated Press FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT Phil Spencer neurs George Brugh and Dar- rell Davis, has played host to a rotating cast of restau- rants, now including Smoked Bones, the Inferno Lounge and Ewing’s Pier 11 Pizza. Along with food service pro- vider Sysco and Fort George Brewery, Winheim previously worked for former Pier 11 eat- ery Cecil’s Trolley Stop Grill. Brugh sold the property in 2014 to Stephen and Karen Allen, co-owners of nearby Astoria Brewing Co. The Allens and their children have fixed up suites and added a collection of antique dealers to the building’s central walkway. “Those two have really breathed life into the entire property,” Winheim said of the Allens.
