Geoff Davis, acclaimed chef of Burdell, is launching Uncle’s — a cozy, neighborhood bar and grill inspired by his beloved uncles, especially the legendary barbecue enthusiast Uncle Thea. Set to open in Spring 2027 at the historic Wood Tavern on College Ave, the spot will feature seasonal, farm-driven dishes from partners like Tierra Vegetables and Dirty Girl Produce, with bold cuts like picanha and coulotte served at accessible prices without customization. Davis brings his trusted team — including chef Brandon Cavazos and business partner Zara Fernandez-Aurelio — to craft a menu that blends comfort with culinary curiosity, all wrapped in a warm, lived-in vibe.
