And a personal note to the Morehouse family: I thank you for embracing the community like you have. You have made a real difference in South Milwaukee, and it’s not just about your terrific BBQ and spot-on renovations that turned a downtrodden downtown space into something special again.

I also understand why you made this difficult decision. From the story …

There were “a multitude of factors” behind the decision, according to owner Donteah Morehouse.

The business, known for its ribs, brisket, pulled pork and pork rinds, was having some staffing issues with Donteah and his wife, April Morehouse, spending more and more time in the kitchen. “It was just getting to the point where summer’s approaching, we’ve got different catering things that happen and it’s hard to keep the restaurant open and do everything else,” Donteah Morehouse said.

Another main reason behind the shutdown was so he and his wife could focus more on family time, as well as their food trailer, the Atwood Hwy BBQ Shack. The Morehouses have eight kids with four still at home. They found themselves missing games and other events their kids were involved in and they decided it was time for a change.

You made this decision for the right reasons. I wish you nothing but the best — and will look forward to seeing you on Thursdays at the farmers’ market.
