Kerri Thoreson provides this photo of Bent BBQing chicken at his Bent's Pitchamps Bar-B-Que at 5th & East Best today. He'll be open until he runs out of food or until 8 p.m.

Stickman: I just went by Bent’s to say ‘hi’ on his opening day and it looks great. He will be off to a great start, especially if the HBO nation gets behind him and supports him. He is on Best Ave. if some don’t have a clue where he is, about a block from Fourth Street on the right. If you turn right from Fourth at Davis Donuts, you’ll find him easily. It’s a red trailer and business started at 11. He should be there till late unless he runs out of food. I don’t eat meat, but I understand his stuff is some of the best around. So drop by and visit him and maybe have something to eat.

Location: Bent's BBQ is east of Davis Doughnuts on Best Avenue, about the 500 or 600 block.

DFO: Bent has promised to provide an opening-day blow-by-blow once lunch hour rush dies down.
