Pay tribute to the Founding Fathers with one of the country’s most beloved culinary traditions courtesy of one of Boston’s favorite chefs. Chef Tiffani Faison is making it a Fourth to remember at Sweet Cheeks Q with holiday-appropriate specials, a raw bar in the garden and their first ever Fourth of July pie eating contest. That’s right, in the grand tradition of over-eating to commemorate the birth of the nation, the Fenway restaurant will be pitting Boston’s most dedicated eaters against one another. There are only eight spots for competitors; throw your hat in the ring by sending an Instagram photo essay to @sweetcheeksbbq explaining why one of them should be yours. If you’re just in it to stuff your face with barbecue, you can call Sweet Cheeks at 617.266.1300 for your Independence Day table.
