Fueling Goodness in the DC Community
While bite after delicious bite of fall-off-the-bone barbecue and all the scrumptious fixin's is obviously the most delicious reason to visit Inspire BBQ, the most rewarding is knowing that with each meal you order you're helping to feed the mind of a youth in the community. Indeed, Inspire isn't just named so because the slow-cooked meats and homemade sides will make your taste buds believe in this tasty world again; it's named so because Inspire does exactly that for the city's kids.
"We hire high school students from DC who seek to not only learn about the culinary arts and the hospitality industry, but also about things like responsibility and how to save money with the goal that they will achieve their dreams by going to college," said Chef Tate, a third-generation Washingtonian who owns Inspire with his brother, Atif. "It's really is a family here."
Inspire is a community pillar. Having won the Hilly Award for Community Service from the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce in 2012, Inspire has put their altruism where their mouth is. And you?
Now let's talk about the food. All freshly made with tender loving care, Inspire BBQ is DC barbecue. "We take the best of all the barbecue worlds, without compromising the integrity of all the different regions' strengths," said Chef Tate. Our ribs are flavored with Inspire's signature dry rub, but Inspire's smoking skills makes them juicier than the average. If the original tunes from Inspire's M.U.S.I.C.F.U.T.U.R.E youth program or soulful jazz playing outside the establishment don't draw you in, the appetizing aromas wafting out of the front door certainly will! You'll love every bite!
