We talked about the great foods she serves in her restaurant and they all sounds delicious. She puts her heart and soul into this restaurant and I know this restaurant is going to be amazing. ALL ABOUT FORTUNE: Fortune Announces Encino's First Authentic Midwestern Soul-Food Restaurant called the "Barbie-Q." Fortune finds pride in doing something commonly attempted but rarely perfected, serving called the "Barbie-Q." Fortune finds pride in classic comfort food with a doing something commonly attempted modern twist in the heart of Encino, LOS ANGELES, CA; November 1, 2020 - Fortune Southern, founder and CEO, announced that her Midwestern cuisine Barbie-Q restaurant open its doors on November 1, 2020, at 15928 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA. Southern invited all her friends and family for the grand-opening of her new business with outdoor seating and activites during the first two weeks in November, all with safe social distance. “The secret’s in the sauce.” - Southern revered as one of the only black female owners to find success in a male dominated street food world, Southern found strength to transition her long-running food truck business into a full-service takeout restaurant. Her inspiration blossomed from the unique and homestyle flavors of her childhood. Through the adversity of 2020, Southern flourishes upholding her strong beliefs in the pillars that define her business: Bold Flavors, Consistent Quality and Unmatched Customer Service. The perfect lunch and launch family-run designation in Encino, Barbie-Q welcomes customers of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy their tasty midwestern style cuisine. Ingredients are sourced locally to create the authentic and unique American flavors we all know and love. Barbie-Q builds on familiar Midwestern favorites - offerings including Ribs, Reuben Sandwiches, Chicken Wings, Bacon Mac-n-Cheese Fries and more. Southern has a proud tradition of working and operating restaurants for over 15 years and this well established excellence manifests in their tasty recipes. The new Midwestern restaurant is officially open now with delivery service will be accepted on website coming soon. And so Barbie-Q is born. The name tells a version of the restaurant’s story: Southern is a striking Black woman (a pageant contest first brought her out to LA as a child) and she moves through her small storefront and attached outdoor seating areas with a graciousness of movement. The aptly-named restaurant’s menu also leans into traditional barbecue territory, though it’s far from a Texas-styled joint. Again you can find the restaurant Barbie-Q is at 15928 Ventura Boulevard in Encino, keeping hours from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily, with an extension to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
