@tinhutbbq storefront is officially open in @pearlhighlands — serving up barbecue like Carolina-style pork, Texas-style brisket and Kansas-style ribs. Tin Hut actually opened in 2012 with food trucks in Schofield. Today the ribs sold out at the storefront, but at the media event, we tried some of the pulled pork, brisket and a variety of sandwiches. #frolichawaii #hawaii #barbecue #tinhutbbq #foodtrucks #mediaevent
