Billy McDonald threatened to close his family’s 66-year-old Dallas barbecue joint, Mac’s Bar-B-Que, a handful of times in the past decade.
In late July 2021, he finally will.
McDonald might miss the company that his dad, Bill Hubert McDonald, started in 1955 — a place that served no-nonsense smoked meat decades before craft barbecue was cool.
But rather than wax nostalgic, McDonald seems relieved to lease the restaurant space to someone else.
