Officials from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) and Delaware North joined Bert McCray, owner of The Mustard Seed BBQ, as the barbecue restaurant celebrated its opening Thursday in Concourse D at the airport.
McCray started the restaurant concept on the street in Atlanta 10 years ago and now has two outlets in that city. It’s known for a mustard-based barbeque sauce, according to the company’s website. The restaurant grew out of McCray’s determination to provide for a family. He started, with his cousin, setting up a pit with his cousin three times per week near his residence in Miami and sold ribs until they ran out.
“As he spent more time on the grill, he began to master the art and perfection was in the works,” according to the website. “A deep passion for cooking and satisfying the cravings of customers led Bert to Atlanta, where he felt he could gain more exposure.”
The eatery has been open for several weeks near Gate D26, according to a Delaware North announcement from earlier this year. In addition to meats, the location serves a selection of craft beers and specialty craft cocktails featuring regional spirits and Tennessee Sweet Tea Moonshine.
