'This is just an opportunity God or the universe or whatever you want to call it gave us,” co-owner says.
Barbecue is very “Bama,” and somewhat incongruous with Lowe Mill’s chi. But Kar’s Char’s Texas twist and Emery and Langford’s energy won the arts center’s juried process over. Lowe Mill executive director Marcia Freeland says Emery and Langford, “wrote a great artist’s statement. They took it serious. And the Mill’s an incubator for artists, so part of that is for makers and independent businesses”.
Freeland is stoked about Kar’s Char joining Lowe Mill’s increasingly formidable food options, which also include recently opened standout. This is advantageous for Lowe Mill. Since visitors don’t have to leave the arts center to find something appealing to eat, all the reason to stay and peruse the studios and shops there longer.
Since this particular space was already built out for a restaurant, originally by defunct eater Happy Tummy, Kar’s Char’s founders didn’t have that cost/risk. “Most restaurants,” Freeland says, “you have to put, I’m gonna guess, like half a million dollars to build-out a restaurant with all the equipment and stuff. All this is built-out for them. It’s ready.”
She says Happy Tummy proprietor Catherine Shearer, who closed shop to be a caregiver for her mom, deserves credit for being a pioneer for food businesses at Lowe Mill. “Everyone since is kind of standing on her shoulders,” Freeland says.Besides what they do with brisket, Kar’s Char’s sides are also notable. I’ve tried the mac and cheese, which was lush, and the vinegar slaw, a zingy and crisp counterpoint. “All of the sides are my grandmother’s recipes,” Emery says.
Langford, who is from Amarillo, Texas, relocated to North Alabama to be with Emery, a Hazel Green native. Emery’s worked in food service most of his life, from McDonald’s to P.F. Chang’s. Langford learned how to barbecue from family members, and previously worked as a pizza deliver guy.Langford says Kar’s Char, “is kind of just an opportunity that God or the universe or whatever you want to call it gave us.
