One-of-a-kind Polenta Table is popping up for Valentine’s Day

Here’s a concept you haven’t seen in the Dayton-area before.

Beloved local food truck Smokin' Bee-Bee-Q plans to create The Polenta Table during a special pop-up event at Troy's Lunch at 4 W. Main on Friday, Feb. 14.

Troy's Lunch spot is a satellite kitchen and pop-up lunch destination serving from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday to Friday or until it sells out. It offers quick food by a rotating lineup of restaurants, food trucks and chefs. Customers can call in orders for pickup or eat there.

During this one-of-a-kind event, The Polenta Table will be built before diners’ eyes. Using a warm bed of polenta as the base, the table will be loaded with Smokin’ Bee-Bee-Q’s barbecued meats, vegetables and finished with three varieties of homemade sauces.

“When it comes to great food, often the visual presentation is almost as important as flavor,” said Jeff Stringer, Smokin’ Bee-Bee-Q owner/operator. “The Polenta Table offers diners the sights and smells of us assembling a big, beautiful spread of food before digging into the deliciousness.”

It begins with a layer of stone-ground polenta, a cornmeal mush with ancient roots. Then, proteins and vegetables are added. This includes smoked beef rib, pork, chicken, Brussel sprouts and kale.

If this sounds like an experience that you can’t miss, you can make your reservations by e-mailing jeff@smokinbeebeeqdyt.com. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are available for $40 each.
