A little outside of Decatur, but sounds like a mighty good cause…

ATLANTA (January 22, 2013) — On  January 23, 2013, Fox Bros Bar-B-Q will host an all-day fundraiser in support of two APD officers: Officer Osbert Beckles and Officer Reggie Robinson. Officer Beckles suffered injuries after a suspected drunk driver from Kennesaw allegedly hit his patrol car. Officer Robinson is in ICU after suffering a gunshot to the face. On Wednesday, 20 percent of the restaurants total sales will go to Humble Heroes, the charity helping both injured officers. Humble Heroes is a local charity organization committed to assisting police officers, firefighters and their families by providing financial and moral support to those in need. Fox Bros Bar-B-Q ‘s commitment to Humble Heroes stemmed from a the death of APD Officer Gail Thomas (also killed by a drunk driver) nearly one year ago this month. For more information on Humble Heroes, visit www.humbleherosatlanta.com. For more information about Fox Bros Bar-B-Q please call or visit www.foxbrosbbq.com. Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q is located at 1238 Dekalb Ave. Atlanta Ga. 30307.

The AJC reports that Fox Bros. BBQ’s main dining room, two vans and a car were damaged when a 70″ diameter tree fell on the DeKalb Avenue property yesterday.  Luckily no one was hurt in the incident, but the restaurant will remain closed at least through today.

On Fox Bros. Facebook page, they thanked Community Q for helping fulfill catering orders yesterday.

Oh my poor waistline.

The Blissful Glutton reports that the Fox. Brothers, Jonathan Fox and brother Justin are opening “The Big Tex Cantina” in the old Natalie’s Fish House and Paris space in downtown Decatur.

According to Blissful, Big Tex will allow the Bros. “more room to play around with the Texican menu”…

Look for items such as chicken fried steak, homemade corn dogs, stacked enchiladas (their mom’s recipe), tacos, chalupas and more. The Cantina will be open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night. Jonathan maintains the restaurant will still be family friendly despite having a fully-stocked bar and a pool room complete with darts.

She reports a late Winter, early Spring opening.

P.S.  I received a report that Natalie’s had closed a few weeks back, but was gun-shy to report it since it didn’t actually close the last time it…umm…closed.  So I was trying to get confirmation first, which never came.  So I guess this is it!
