Not only is Chef J's BBQ a hot spot in the city for their acclaimed barbeque in just over three years of operations, but fans will find the West Bottoms' Stockyard BBQ Supply is an excellent source for specialty sauces, rubs, and tools to make their barbeque next level. Beyond the BBQ foods, stores throughout the 13 blocks of shopping have apparel, dishes, glassware, art, and even socks that can make the football and BBQ-gathering moments memorable.

"The community of football gives us a chance to come together and have connection with our area football teams," said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, West Bottoms district spokesperson. "It's a good feeling to feel a part of something, and wearing our colors and shopping around the West Bottoms with fellow fans is uplifting."
