One of the best patios in
Denton County, Bumbershoot Barbecue in Argyle, now has a new pitmaster. The Colony resident and chef Aaron Courtney has been smoking on Bumbershoot’s Oyler pit since late February.
Bumbershoot will continue to offer the same menu from pre-pandemic times: pulled pork, turkey, brisket ribs and the like. But soon, Courtney will add some new items, like house-made pickles, which he also sells via his own company, Aaron’s Pickles and More. Courtney also has ambitions of adding a new summer corn succotash dish with Cajun spices and blue cheese; and a cold pasta salad with pico, bacon and bechamel sauce.
