The original BBQ Thor's Hammer

Third Wave BBQ created the BBQ Thor's Hammer and coined the name: a whole beef shin, marinated for 24 hours, rubbed in spices and smoked for over 12 hours until it falls apart, served standing over smoky bacon mac and cheese with bear claws to shred it. It weighs over 3 kg, feeds four to five, and is on the menu at every venue, first come first served while it lasts each service. Prefer your beef dry-aged? The tomahawk and the dry-aged steak menu sit alongside it.
