One Wilmington restaurant closes as new burger restaurant on the way
As one shipping container restaurant closes in Wilmington’s Cargo District, a well-known brand is planning a new concept. Brandon and Elizabeth Shepard closed their hot chicken eatery, Birdbox , Aug. 29. Meanwhile, Dustin Smith, of Fork n Cork and Smoke on the Water, said he’s planning to open Burger Street in that space in the coming weeks. “It’s an homage to the Patty Wagon days,” Smith said. Before opening Fork n Cork, Smith's late brother James Smith operated that burger-based food truck in downtown Wilmington. But Dustin Smith said that Burger Street's menu won't overlap with Fork n Cork's. The new Cargo West spot will focus on smash burgers, hot dogs and brats. They will be available in different styles, named after local streets, that can come with your choice of base. The Shepards think it’s a good concept, and still believe in the future of the Cargo District. They originally moved their Emerald Isle-based business Shepard Barbecue to 609 S. 15th St., and then switched to the counter window-friendly Birdbox.
